Employer sponsor check

Does Scottish Borders council sponsor Skilled Worker visas?

Yes — Scottish Borders Council holds a UK sponsor licence.

It appears on the UK Home Office register of licensed sponsors (checked against the register download of 2026-07-26). A licence means the employer can sponsor eligible hires — it is not a guarantee that any particular vacancy comes with sponsorship, so always confirm with the employer for the specific role.
