Technology is at the heart of most organisations. As well as opening a world of opportunities, technology exposes organisations to a variety of risks. We work with clients on a range of projects to help them identify gaps and manage these risks. In doing this, we help clients protect their reputation, ensure regulatory compliance, and increase trust with external stakeholders.

Please see visa sponsorship details below for this April 2025 intake programme, for locations: London and Reading.

Visa sponsorship is available for this position on a limited basis. EY’s ability to make an offer of employment is subject to the UK immigration rules in force at the relevant time. This position is one that meets the current thresholds required for sponsorship by EY.  Please note, however, that EY has a set number of Certificate of Sponsorship applications that can be made each year. If you require sponsorship and this limit is reached and/or UK immigration rules are not capable of being met, this will prevent EY from being able to sponsor you and we will not be able to progress your application.

We can sponsor using the Skilled Worker visa New Entrant salary threshold for this particular vacancy. Your eligibility for the New Entrant rate must subsist for the entire duration of the Graduate programme (please refer to the section ‘Programme length’).

The criteria to be eligible for the New Entrant rate are (subject to change by the UK Government): you’re under 26 on the date you apply; you’re currently in the UK on a student visa studying at bachelor’s degree level or above; you’re currently in the UK on a Graduate visa and your total stay in the UK by the end of your EY Graduate programme plus the date you applied for your Graduate visa will be less than 4 years. Each visa application is unique to the individual and there may be other criteria which mean you are not eligible for visa sponsorship. EY will assess your individual circumstances and we may be required to withdraw your application or offer of employment if EY cannot sponsor your visa.

Please see visa sponsorship details below for this April 2025 intake programme, for location: Manchester.

We’re unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role due to UK Home Office regulations. Therefore, we cannot accept applications for this role from those who would require EY visa sponsorship. This includes individuals who have or plan to apply for a Graduate visa, as we are unable to convert your Graduate visa to a Skilled Worker visa before the end of your EY Graduate programme.

We have a variety of other vacancies which can support visa sponsorship where needed. We encourage you to explore these opportunities and find the one that aligns with your career aspirations. You can find out which vacancies are able to support applications from candidates who require visa sponsorship by looking at the individual vacancy pages.
