Cranswick: does its level 2 and level 3 apprenticeships sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyLevel 2 and Level 3 Apprenticeships (Engineering, Health and Safety in Manufacturing, Butchery, Stockperson)

Unconfirmed. Cranswick publishes no sponsorship policy for its level 2 and level 3 apprenticeships, so we cannot state a firm answer. Alongside its Level 6 degree routes, Cranswick runs two Level 3 apprenticeships and two Level 2 apprenticeships. The Level 3 Engineering apprenticeship takes 48 months and leads to a Level 3 Multi Skilled Engineering qualification, available nationwide. The Level 3 Health and Safety in Manufacturing apprenticeship also takes 48 months and sits in the Technical function, nationwide. At Level 2, the Butchery apprenticeship runs 18 months and is delivered with Bishop Burton College, with vacancies at Preston and in Hull. The Level 2 Stockperson apprenticeship sits in the Farms function across Yorkshire and Norfolk. Unlike the degree apprenticeships, these are posted as live site vacancies on Cranswick's own board rather than through a register your interest form. Cranswick publishes no salary, no entry requirements and no visa or right to work position for any of them.

The catch: These sit on the same careers section as the Level 6 degree apprenticeships but work differently: degree routes take registrations for a 2027 intake, while Level 2 and 3 roles appear and disappear as individual site vacancies.
