Rathbones: does its industrial placement sponsor a UK visa?

Unconfirmed. Rathbones publishes no sponsorship policy for its industrial placement, so we cannot state a firm answer. The placement is a genuine sandwich year rather than a summer scheme: one academic year, starting in September, open to third year university students. Placement students sit alongside investment management teams providing administrative and client lifecycle support, which means exposure to the operational mechanics of running client portfolios rather than to markets analysis. The two locations are London and Manchester, and Manchester is worth noting because it is not one of the five offices that run the Graduate Academy, so the placement reaches a city the graduate scheme does not. Rathbones publishes no salary, no closing date and no statement on visas for the placement.
