If you’re new and I bring you the latest tips and insights on living and working abroad. And without wasting any more time, let’s dive in. Now, let’s start off with some context. In recent years, the UK has seen a significant influx of international workers. According to statistics, in 2023, 337,000 visas were granted for applicants with the main applicants in the UK. The bottom line is that there are job opportunities available for foreigners in the UK. Now, interestingly, employees born in North America, Oceana and India had the highest median earnings in 2022 and were most likely to be in high skilled occupations in 2023 alone. The Home Office granted 350,000 health and care worker visas and 118,000 skilled worker visas.
So the next time someone tells you that the UK doesn’t have jobs, tell them this. Now the UK has been in the news offline for some reason or the other. And if you’re unsure if the UK is the best place for you to move or not. Here are some things you need to keep in mind. The UK has a developed economy that has rebounded from a recession. Providing a secure environment for living and working. Salaries in the UK are competitive, especially in key industries like finance, tech and healthcare. The UK also has a robust and diverse job market with opportunities across various sectors such as finance, technology, healthcare, engineering and creative industries.
Now, the average pay in the UK is £35,000, but if you are to get a job with sponsorship, in most cases, the minimum you’ll need to earn is £38,700. The UK has strong labour laws that protect workers rights, including fair wages, holiday entitlement, safe working conditions. Many companies prioritize work life balance, flexible working hours, remote working options and generous holiday allowances. Now, for many foreign workers, working in an English speaking country provides an opportunity to improve language skills, which is beneficial for your personal and professional growth. In all honesty, the UK also provides access to excellent public services like transportation, free public education, free healthcare and social welfare. Many visas allow you to take your family along with you to the UK. The UK offers pathways to permanent residency and citizenship for foreign workers, allowing long term settlement and stability. The UK remains a top destination due to its diverse job market and its vibrant culture.
Now let’s get into the top five easiest jobs you can land as a foreigner in the UK, complete with visa sponsorship.
1. Healthcare
Number one on that list is healthcare. The UK is in dire need of nurses, doctors and caregivers. The NHS and private healthcare providers offer visa sponsorship to qualified professionals from across the globe, and with an ageing population, this demand isn’t going away anytime soon. The majority of the NHS staff in England are British, with an approximate 83.5% holding British nationalities. However, 16.5% people are foreign nationals, which means around 220,000 out of 1.4 million staff are non-British, which also means that if you are looking to move to the UK for healthcare roles, you have a very high chance of conversion. In 2023 alone, 8900 visas were granted to medical practitioners, 22,000 visas to nurses and 89,000 visas were granted to care professionals.

5. Scientists
Moving on at number five are scientists that are in huge demand in the UK across various disciplines. The demand for scientists is driven by several factors, including the need for innovation, research and development in numerous sectors. Chemical scientists working in nuclear fields and biological scientists are on the immigration salary list, and around 18% of people working in this field are non-union.
Now, the average salaries in this field are biomedical scientists who earn around £47,000 on an average. There’s clinical scientists who make around £50,000 on average, data scientists who make around £55,000, environmental scientists who make around £45,000, pharmacologists who make around £50,000, and chemists who make around £40,000. There’s also biotechnologies, who make around £50,000. Some of the top companies in this space are AstraZeneca, GSK, Johnson and Johnson, Pfizer, Novartis, Estella Farmers and Merck Group. And as a bonus, we have one more role. Hospitality and tourism in the UK. Roles like hotel staff, chefs and restaurant managers are always in demand, especially in major cities and tourist hotspots. Many employers in this sector are willing to sponsor visas for dedicated staff, especially those who have a niche around.
17% of the people working in this sector are non-UK born. The average salaries the hospitality industry helps you get is £31,000 for a restaurant manager, chefs with £32,000 and the top businesses in this space are Marriott International, Hilton Worldwide, Whitbread PLC, Intercontinental Hotels and Travelodge. But to be honest, if you are looking for a role in this industry, the smart thing to do is to check job portals like indeed, which very often have openings for these roles.
And the second thing for you to keep in mind is that there will be agencies for a lot of these roles that post openings. Be extremely careful when going through agencies to make sure they aren’t scamming you, because truth be told, there are a lot of agencies that scam people for jobs in the UK or based out of other countries. So do remember to do your research now. Remember, if you are to work in the UK, you need to get the following. You need to be offered a job which is a sponsored job by a licensed sponsor in the UK.
You need to receive a Cos which is a certificate of sponsorship from your employer and you would need a work visa. Now. The work visa you’re eligible for will depend on your job. If it’s a health job, it will be a health and care worker visa. If not, in most cases it will be a skilled worker visa. The visa fees will depend on the type of visa you’re eligible for and the duration of the visa, and whether or not you will have to pay the IHS or the Immigration Health surcharge. In the UK, only your employer can apply for your Cos, but either you or your employer can apply for a visa. Now the cost could come up to quite a bit, so remember it is important for you to discuss this with your employer.
Another thing for you to keep in mind, there is a salary threshold for jobs that offer sponsorship in the UK. Many of the jobs I showed you today have salaries that are lower than the salary threshold, and that might confuse you, but remember, that’s the average of all of the salaries offered for that role. In the UK, for instance, the average salary for a chef, like I said was £32,000. But to be sponsored you need to earn £38,700. So you need to look for openings that offer more than the sponsorship threshold. And there will be roles like that, because the average means that are obviously both people earning a lot higher and a lot lower than this figure. Now, I hope you found this post helpful.
