Is Bbc a licensed UK visa sponsor?

Yes. Bbc in Salford holds a UK sponsor licence and appears on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, where it has been listed since 2013. That means it is permitted to sponsor eligible workers from overseas, though a licence is permission to sponsor rather than a guarantee that any particular vacancy is open to sponsorship.

What visa routes can Bbc sponsor?

Bbc is licensed for Creative Worker. Its licence is recorded on the register as "Temporary Worker (A rating)" — the rating reflects the Home Office's confidence in the sponsor's compliance record.

The register lists Bbc at Boswell Cottage Main Street, North Leverton, Retford, England, DN22 0AD. This is the address on the sponsor licence, which is usually the head office — a sponsored role may be based at a different site.
