Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Shop-floor, till and stock jobs are below degree level and on no list read, so they cannot be sponsored; only youth schemes remain.
Before you apply: Shop-floor jobs need no professional licence. Pharmacists do: they must register with the local regulator, and one qualified abroad often has to pass local exams first. Selling alcohol can need a short course and certificate, for example in Australia.
Watch for: Only degree-level head-office roles (finance, IT, data) can be sponsored. Youth schemes are the usual way in for Canadians, Australians and Indians under the age limits.
