Anyone can use the standard rate, but the pay clears it only if the Home Office classes the job as SOC 3571. We think SOC 1136 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 1136. 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 £42,000.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 4136 (Human resources administrative occupations), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Sodexo Live! what the duties actually are.
