Lichfields: does its graduate programme sponsor a UK visa?

Unconfirmed. Lichfields publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. Lichfields is a planning and development consultancy working across aviation, education, energy, minerals and waste, health, housing, infrastructure, regeneration, retail and more, with services from plan making and development consent orders to economics, heritage, townscape and visual impact, GIS and spatial analytics. The graduate programme runs three years and is driven by what the graduate needs to learn rather than a fixed rotation, giving breadth across projects of different sizes and sectors, with mentors, colleagues and networking events alongside. Graduates work directly with directors on complex planning challenges. Lichfields is employee owned, so profits are reinvested, and it publishes a full benefits list including pension, private medical insurance, permanent health insurance, death in service benefit, a mentor scheme and an interest free travel loan, with qualifying periods for some of those set out in the offer letter. People can work from any of nine UK offices. Recruitment starts with an interview and two tests, maths and English based but framed around planning and development. Lichfields also runs a paid internship programme and a Chartered Town Planning apprenticeship, and provides APC mentors for those becoming chartered town planners or surveyors. Nothing across the graduate pages or careers section addresses sponsorship, visas or right to work.
