Premier Inn: does its finance graduate scheme sponsor a UK visa?
Unconfirmed. Premier Inn publishes no sponsorship policy for its finance graduate scheme, so we cannot state a firm answer. The scheme rotates graduates across finance areas over three years while they study for CIMA, ACCA or ACA, with a starting salary of 34,000 pounds rising as exams are passed. The careers site gives full detail on pay and benefits but says nothing about sponsoring a Skilled Worker visa, so eligibility for an international graduate cannot be confirmed from the page alone.
