Occupation not currently eligible

This role may not meet Skilled Worker requirements

SOC 6113 is not currently on the eligible-occupation list, so a Skilled Worker visa is unlikely here. Check the occupation eligibility rules and confirm with the employer.

This could also be SOC 6112 (Teaching assistants, Classroom support assistant role if duties are classroom-based teaching support). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

Strategic tip: apply early

Sponsored roles fill quickly, and the ones that name a salary go quickest. If this one looks right, apply in the first few days rather than saving it for the weekend.

Sighthill Primary School is a non-denominational primary school in the South-West of the city of Edinburgh. We have a current roll of circa 250 children from Primary 1 to Primary 7 and a large nursery with space for 70 children. Sighthill Primary School is situated in an area of high deprivation and, as such, benefits from additional funding to support our learners in a variety of ways, such as through our nurture provision and school farm. We are a Nurturing School (Nurture UK) and strive for our school to be a warm and caring environment for all our children, families and staff. We are forward thinking, aspirational and on a journey of continuous improvement - Sighthill Primary is an exciting place to work right now. If you have the passion, commitment and drive to really make a difference to our school community, please apply for this post. 

This post is regulated work with children and/or protected adults under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. The preferred candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check.  Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.

We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce where everyone feels valued and able to be their best. We particularly encourage applications from women for senior roles, as well as people from minority ethnic backgrounds, people with disabilities or neurodivergent people, care experienced people, carers and LGBT+ people across all levels of the organisation, all of whom are currently underrepresented. All applicants will be considered fairly based on skills and experience. Disabled and care-experienced applicants who meet the minimum job criteria will be guaranteed an interview.
