HM Treasury: does its graduate policy programme sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyGraduate Policy Programme

Unconfirmed. HM Treasury publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate policy programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. The programme is a three-year rotation split into two 18-month postings, starting with a Policy Adviser role that carries real responsibility from day one. HM Treasury's own site says applications for the next cohort open in October 2026, but it does not publish a salary figure or a nationality and visa sponsorship statement on the pages checked; applicants are routed to Civil Service Jobs to apply.

The catch: As a Civil Service department, HM Treasury is expected to sit under the same general nationality rules as the rest of the Civil Service, but that was not stated on the Treasury's own careers pages checked, so it should be confirmed on the live vacancy rather than assumed.
