Bricklayers are in demand in parts of the UK, but headline rates in adverts vary. Sponsorship depends on the job, the employer and the current rules.
Checks
- Ask whether the employer holds a sponsor licence.
- Compare the day rate or hourly rate with other adverts.
- Check whether you are employed or self employed.
- Ask about CSCS card requirements for site work.
Skilled Worker rules are on GOV.UK.
Red flags and scams
- Anyone who asks you to pay for a job offer, a permit or a “guaranteed” visa.
- Adverts with very high pay for beginners, or with no interview.
- Contact only by WhatsApp, Telegram or a free email address, with no company website or address.
- Look-alike government sites. Use only the official government website for the country.
If you think you have been targeted, stop paying, keep every message and receipt, and report it to Action Fraud. You can also email us at admin@jobsbroads.com.
