Sellafield Ltd: does its apprenticeship scheme for school leavers sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyApprenticeship scheme for school leavers

Unconfirmed. Sellafield Ltd publishes no sponsorship policy for its apprenticeship scheme for school leavers, so we cannot state a firm answer. Sellafield Ltd's gov.uk recruitment page says it has an apprenticeship scheme suited to people at school, who have just left school, or who are not sure about their next steps. Beyond a general equality and non-discrimination statement, it gives no nationality, UK residency, security clearance or visa sponsorship detail, despite Sellafield being a licensed nuclear site where vetting is very likely to apply in practice.
