On the jobs board, Standard hides roles like this and the new entrant rate shows them as Possible at most. The advertised pay goes up to £35,000.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 4136 (Human resources administrative occupations), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Australasian Recruitment Company what the duties actually are.
