Visa Sponsorship & Foreigner Eligibility
Visa sponsorship is advertised as available for this role, making it open to foreign / overseas applicants who require a UK work visa. However, the job description explicitly states that Peabody is not a licensed UK sponsor. This indicates a potential discrepancy that applicants should clarify directly with the employer.
