This role may not meet Skilled Worker requirements
SOC 5242 is an eligible occupation, and YouFibre is a licensed sponsor, but this role does not currently meet Skilled Worker sponsorship requirements.
This could also be SOC 5244 (Computer system and equipment installers and servicers) or SOC 3132 (IT user support technicians). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
Salary caveat: the advertised pay is under £33,400, the lowest a sponsor must pay for SOC 5242 under the new entrant rate. At the salary advertised, this role could not be sponsored.
New graduate or PhD holder? Pick one of the lower rates.
