Doctor jobs with visa sponsorship in Vange

How visa sponsorship works for medical roles

To work in the UK on a Skilled Worker visa you need a job offer from an employer approved by the Home Office — a “licensed sponsor” — who assigns you a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) for the specific role. Only employers on the official register of licensed sponsors can do this. Every employer listed on this page appears on that register for the Skilled Worker route, checked nightly. A licence means an employer can sponsor; it does not guarantee sponsorship for any particular vacancy, so always confirm sponsorship for the specific role before applying.

Doctors are sponsored across the NHS and independent sector, from clinical fellow and specialty posts to consultant roles. Pay follows the separate medical and dental pay scales rather than Agenda for Change bands.

The roles above are located in and around Vange. Many sponsors recruit across several sites, so if you are flexible it is worth also browsing the full medical list and filtering by region on the main jobs board.

Salary requirements for a Skilled Worker visa

For a Skilled Worker visa, doctors must be paid at least the going rate for their specific role and grade. Medical pay follows the NHS medical and dental pay scales (not Agenda for Change bands), and the national pay-scale figures published on GOV.UK vary by role and UK nation. The absolute minimum for national-pay-scale health roles is £25,000 per year (figures effective 22 July 2025). Always check the going rate for the exact post you are offered.

Many medical roles with the NHS, an NHS supplier or in adult social care qualify for the Health and Care Worker visa — a variant of the Skilled Worker route with lower application fees and no immigration health surcharge. Your employer will confirm which route your Certificate of Sponsorship uses.

Registration and qualifications

To work in medical in the UK, you must be registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) and hold a licence to practise. International medical graduates typically evidence their knowledge and skills (for example via PLAB or a recognised postgraduate qualification) as part of GMC registration.

Preparing your move to the UK

• Job offer + Certificate of Sponsorship from a licensed sponsor — the starting point for any Skilled Worker application.
• English language: new applicants must prove English at level B2 (CEFR) — for example through an approved Secure English Language Test or a degree taught in English. Doctors, nurses and midwives who have already passed an English assessment accepted by their regulated professional body (for example for NMC or GMC registration) do not need to prove English again for the visa; other professions must meet the B2 requirement.
• Qualification recognition: where your qualification was not awarded in the UK, check whether an Ecctis assessment or regulator-specific evaluation is needed.
• TB test: applicants from some countries need a tuberculosis test from an approved clinic — check the GOV.UK list for your country.
• Timing: regulator registration (where required) can take several months — start it early, in parallel with your job search.
