Which schools and colleges advertising vacancies right now also appear on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors? This page answers that for the employers we can match with confidence. It is a pilot: the list is deliberately small and conservative.

148 education employers advertising on this site have been matched to the licensed sponsor register at our highest confidence level, covering 335 current vacancies.

Matches are rebuilt weekly, last on 11 November 2026. An employer appears here only when its name and town both match a register entry exactly after normalisation. Weaker matches are held back: a hand review found an English region too coarse to establish identity. Vacancy data comes from the Department for Education's Teaching Vacancies service and covers state-funded schools and colleges in England.

What a match here means, and what it does not

An employer shown above appears on the official register of licensed sponsors, and our records indicate it is the same organisation that is advertising the vacancies listed beneath it. Those are two separate claims and we only make the second one when the employer name and the town both match after normalisation.

None of this means sponsorship is available for any particular job. A sponsor licence is permission for an employer to use the sponsorship system. Whether it will sponsor a given role depends on the role meeting the Home Office’s skill and salary requirements, on the employer being willing to assign a Certificate of Sponsorship, and on your own eligibility. Only the advert or the employer can tell you that.

Why the list is short

Three reasons, and all of them are deliberate.

First, an employer only appears if it is currently advertising on this site. Most schools in England are not, at any given moment.

Second, most individual schools do not hold their own licence. It is usually held by the multi-academy trust above them, under the trust’s name, so the school itself is correctly absent from the register. If a school you want is missing, look up its trust in the full sponsor directory.

Third, we discard matches we cannot stand behind. A name match where the two towns differ is not enough: when we reviewed every such case by hand, one in seven was a different organisation that happened to share a name. Those are held back from this page rather than shown with a caveat.

Scope and sources

Sponsor data is the Home Office Register of licensed sponsors (workers), rebuilt here each week. Vacancy data comes from the Department for Education’s Teaching Vacancies service, so the coverage is state-funded schools and colleges in England. Independent schools, and schools in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, are not included.

For the wider picture see which UK schools and colleges can sponsor a visa, and for any employer outside this pilot use the licensed sponsor directory.

This is information about public datasets, not immigration advice. If you think a match here is wrong, please tell us and we will check it.
