Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust MFT Graduate Programme 2027

Only some tracksMFT Graduate Programme

Only in part. Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust sponsors its mft graduate programme for some tracks or offices, not all. The trust's separate certificate of sponsorship page is unusually explicit for an NHS employer: it says sponsorship is offered for eligible roles under the Health and Care visa route, assessed role by role against Home Office salary thresholds and SOC codes, typically for up to five years, with a certificate of sponsorship application form and a three month window before an existing visa expires.

Common questions

Does Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust sponsor visas for its mft graduate programme?

Only in part. Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust sponsors its mft graduate programme for some tracks or offices, not all. Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust runs a graduate programme that rotates across its ten hospitals and community services, open to graduates interested in management, clinical services, digital innovation or supporting roles. The programme page itself carries no salary, no closing date and no entry requirement. The trust's separate certificate of sponsorship page is unusually explicit for an NHS employer: it says sponsorship is offered for eligible roles under the Health and Care visa route, assessed role by role against Home Office salary thresholds and SOC codes, typically for up to five years, with a certificate of sponsorship application form and a three month window before an existing visa expires. A general management graduate role is unlikely to carry a qualifying SOC code, so the licence does not help most graduate applicants.
