Common questions about Rothamsted Research
- Is Rothamsted Research a licensed UK visa sponsor?
- Yes. Rothamsted Research in Harpenden 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 Rothamsted Research sponsor?
- Rothamsted Research is licensed for Charity Worker, Government Authorised Exchange 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.
- Where is Rothamsted Research based?
- The register lists Rothamsted Research at Harpenden, Herts, AL5 2JQ. 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 02393175. The register itself is the authoritative source — always confirm on GOV.UK before relying on a licence status.
