Why the register matters
Only employers on the Home Office's Register of Licensed Sponsors can sponsor someone on a UK work visa. If you're job-hunting on a sponsored route, this list is the map of who can actually hire you in Chatham. If you already hold a sponsored visa, your status is tied to your employer's licence. If it is suspended or revoked, your visa is usually cut to 60 days.
SettleWell users verify their sponsor once and get an automatic alert if its licence status ever changes, before it becomes a 60-day problem.
Common questions
How many licensed sponsors are there in Chatham?
The gov.uk Register of Licensed Sponsors currently lists 123 active sponsor licences in Chatham, 112 of them on the Skilled Worker route. SettleWell syncs the register daily, so these figures track the official list.
What does an A rating mean?
An A rating means the sponsor holds a full licence and can issue new Certificates of Sponsorship. A B rating means the Home Office has found compliance problems: the sponsor is on an action plan and cannot sponsor new workers until it returns to an A rating.
How do I check if my employer is a licensed sponsor?
Search the register on SettleWell for free. If you already work for a sponsor, verify it in your SettleWell dashboard, and we then watch its licence and alert you if it is ever suspended or revoked.
