Sheffield City Council: does its sheffield city council apprenticeships sponsor a UK visa?
Unconfirmed. Sheffield City Council publishes no sponsorship policy for its sheffield city council apprenticeships, so we cannot state a firm answer. Sheffield City Council, one of the largest employers in the city, runs apprenticeships in data analytics, business administration, repairs and maintenance, housing, IT and horticulture. The council is candid that not every apprenticeship is advertised every year, because availability depends on business need and placement capacity. Level 2 and 3 apprentices get a £28 monthly travel allowance, a £100 clothing allowance where personal protective equipment is not supplied, and a £400 incentive payment on passing probation, on top of the Local Government Pension Scheme and 26 days holiday plus bank holidays. Vacancies appear on the council's own job portal under the apprenticeships category filter. Pay is described only as a competitive apprentice wage, and nothing on the page addresses visa sponsorship.
