College roles eligible for sponsorship

All following job categories/roles are eligible for a Skilled Worker visa.

The terminology for each job role used below is taken from the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes, developed by the Office for National Statistics. The SOC Codes are used to determine eligibility for a Skilled Worker Visa.

For University purposes, please choose a job category below to see specific examples of equivalent job roles/job titles at the University, and view the minimum salary levels relevant to the job.

Notes

• Min for 20 pts from salary: no tradeable points are required, this is the minimum salary required to accrue the required 20 points based on salary alone. This figure is the higher of (a) the 'general threshold' and (b) the contractual going rate (for the hours per week - 36.5 or 37 as appropriate)

• Non-STEM PhD points and STEM PhD points: where salary does not exceed both the 'general threshold' and the contractual going rate for the job, jobs in certain SOC codes can benefit from a lower minimum salary due to the individual holding a STEM or non-STEM PhD which is relevant to the job. Where this is applicable, it is for you as the recruiting department to determine if the PhD is relevant to the job, by way of the recruitment process.

• New Entrant points: where salary does not exceed both the 'general threshold' and the contractual going rate for the job, jobs in certain SOC codes can benefit from a lower minimum salary due to the individual meeting the eligibility criteria as a new entrant to the labour market.

• Where any given role will be undertaken part-time, please contact the HR Compliance Team to verify if the pro-rata salary will meet minimum requirements for a Skilled worker Visa.
