Hi, thanks for your question. Unfortunately, we aren’t providing sponsorship for this position I'm afraid. As it’s a permanent role it is a requirement for the candidates to have the right to work in the UK.

Hi Josh, thanks for the quick reply. I am truely interested in this position -- and if I am able to cover the relevant Visa fee (for instance, application fee, IHS, etc) by myself, is there any chance I can be considered for this role?

Hi Enpei, we appreciate your enthusiasm for the role and Kingfisher, but we do ask that all candidates have the right to work in the UK at time for applying for the role.

Hi Josh, in fact, I do have the right to work in the UK currently, as I'm holding a Gradaute Route Visa. However, it will expire within 2 years and I will need the sponsorship in the future and I'm willing to cover the fee myself. Within this situation, do I still have the chance to apply for this program?

Hi Enpei, as this is a permanent role, candidates will need to have the right to work in the UK, without the need of sponsorship at the time of applying.
