Visa Sponsors in Public Administration & Defence

This section covers central and local government, public administration, defence and compulsory social security. Sponsorship here is narrower than in the private sector, and the roles that are sponsored tend to be specialist or professional, such as policy analysts, statisticians, engineers and technical advisers. Many public bodies recruit through the Skilled Worker route, though some government and security roles carry residency or nationality requirements.

There are 302 licensed visa sponsors in public administration & defence, with 311 live jobs between them. Sponsor figures come from the official Home Office register and are updated daily.
