“While we are on the register of licensed sponsors, we are unable to provide visa sponsorship for our early careers programmes due to the salary requirements established by the Home Office.”

The catch: Applicants must have unrestricted right to work for the FULL training-contract duration, not just at hire. Buzzacott is a licensed Skilled Worker sponsor at firm level but deliberately does not use the licence for this route, matching the sector-wide April 2024 salary-threshold pattern.
