Home Group: does its home group apprenticeship programme, levels 2 to 7 sponsor a UK visa?
Unconfirmed. Home Group publishes no sponsorship policy for its home group apprenticeship programme, levels 2 to 7, so we cannot state a firm answer. Home Group, a housing association and care provider based in the North East, runs apprenticeships from level 2 through to level 7, covering GCSE equivalent, A level equivalent and degree level. Subject areas named on the page are customer service, healthcare, business leadership and management, chartered surveying, procurement and marketing. The association makes two commitments that most housing sector apprenticeships do not: apprentices get the same annual awards, bonuses and benefits as permanent colleagues, and pay is above the national apprentice minimum wage rather than at it. There is no upper age limit, which the page states twice and illustrates with a case study of a single mother who assumed she was too old. Opportunities for a permanent job at the end are offered but not guaranteed. Nothing on the page addresses visa sponsorship.

Does the pay clear the UK Skilled Worker salary threshold?
The pay for this scheme sits below the Skilled Worker salary threshold, which is itself a reason sponsorship is not possible.
What is the catch international students miss with Home Group?
Pay is benchmarked to the apprentice minimum wage, so even the level 7 routes sit far below the Skilled Worker salary floor.
How should I confirm Home Group's sponsorship before applying?
Read the specific vacancy on Home Group's careers site, ask its early-careers team directly, and check the employer on the gov.uk Register of Licensed Sponsors. Policies and thresholds change, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm for the exact role and cycle.
