Common questions about Cancer Research UK
- Is Cancer Research UK a licensed UK visa sponsor?
- Yes. Cancer Research UK in London holds a UK sponsor licence and appears on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, where it has been listed since 2020. 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 Cancer Research UK sponsor?
- Cancer Research UK is licensed for Charity Worker, Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker and Skilled 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.
- Does Cancer Research UK have any jobs open right now?
- We are currently tracking 8 live vacancies advertised by Cancer Research UK across major UK job boards. Listings are matched to this employer by name, and a vacancy appearing here does not by itself mean the role is being offered with sponsorship — check the advert or ask the employer.
- Where is Cancer Research UK based?
- The register lists Cancer Research UK at 2 Redman Place, London, E20 1JQ. This is the address on the sponsor licence, which is usually the head office — a sponsored role may be based at a different site.
- How current is this information?
- This page is built from the UK Home Office register of licensed sponsors. We resync the register daily and keep a dated history of every addition and removal, alongside Companies House records for company number 04325234. The register itself is the authoritative source — always confirm on GOV.UK before relying on a licence status.
