Holding a licence is the expensive, slow part done. For Knauf Insulation Limited the question each time is only whether the role and the pay fit the current rules, and that is checked per vacancy.

What a licence means

The slow part is done

Getting a licence takes an application, checks and a fee, and most employers never bother. Knauf Insulation Limited has, which means when a role qualifies the certificate can be assigned without months of preparation.

How to approach them

Lead with the role, not the visa

Apply through the careers page or the job boards with a UK-style CV, say early that you would need sponsorship, and make the skill and the years the first thing they read.

For candidates

What you need to work here

  • A confirmed job offer from a UK employer that holds a Home Office sponsor licence. The employers in this directory all hold one.
  • A Certificate of Sponsorship from that employer describing the role.
  • A job on the Home Office list of eligible occupations, paid at least the minimum salary for that role and route.
