Companies House cannot show who holds the licence roles or whether a change was reported to the Home Office, so these are prompts to check against your own records, not findings. ## Sponsored jobs 0 live vacancies tracked for this employer (2 tracked all-time), harvested daily from Reed, Adzuna, Jooble and Careerjet and matched by employer name. - SEN Teacher · Bolton · £34,069–£46,940 · expired · https://www.reed.co.uk/jobs/sen-teacher/57312088 - Support Worker · BL79AB · £26,682–£27,129 · expired · https://www.reed.co.uk/jobs/support-worker/57259781 A vacancy listed here does not by itself mean the role is offered with sponsorship.
