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

Notes

If the salary for the role does not meet the required minimum ("min for 20 pts from salary"), a lower salary may be sponsorable in the following circumstances:

  • Holding a PhD: jobs in certain SOC codes can benefit from a lower minimum salary due to the individual holding a STEM or non-STEM PhD (minimum salary is different for each). The PhD must be relevant to the job. Where this is applicable, it is for you as the recruiting College to determine whether (a) the PhD is in a STEM subject or not, and (b) it is relevant to the job, by way of the recruitment process.

OR

  • Being classed as a New Entrant to the labour market: jobs in all SOC codes can benefit from a lower minimum salary due to the individual meeting the eligibility criteria.

If a role will be undertaken part-time, please contact the HR Compliance Team to check whether the pro-rata salary will meet minimum requirements for a Skilled Worker Visa.
