Eligibility

To be eligible to work in the UK you need to pass the eligibility criteria which requires 70 points. Some of this is based on your ability to speak good English, although we can provide further training upon arriving in the UK. To apply for a visa to work with us in the UK, you must prove you can read, write, speak and understand English to at least level B1 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) scale.

In addition, you need proof of an offer for a skilled job and approval from a company to ensure that your move to the UK is possible and that you can receive a visa.
