What this means for your visa

A sponsor licence does not guarantee an open vacancy. You still need a job offer that meets the Skilled Worker salary and skill thresholds — currently £38,700 a year or the going rate for the occupation, whichever is higher — before Lancashire County Council can assign you a CoS.

How to approach Lancashire County Council

Apply through the employer's own careers page or the original job advert — never through a paid intermediary. Ask early and directly whether the role comes with sponsorship, and mention which route you need (Skilled Worker in this case). If you are close to your visa expiry, prioritise employers already advertising, because they are far more likely to have an unused CoS allocation.
