Anyone can use the standard rate, but the pay clears it only if the Home Office classes the job as SOC 7129. We think SOC 3552 is more likely, and the pay is too low for that code. If you are a new entrant or a PhD holder, you can use a lower rate, and the pay clears the new entrant rate for SOC 3552. On the jobs board, Standard and the new entrant rate both show roles like this as Possible at most. The advertised pay goes up to £35,000.
New graduate or PhD holder? Pick one of the lower rates.
