SOC 2141 (60% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £43,800, and Higher Ed Partners is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 3554 (Advertising and marketing associate professionals) or SOC 3133 (Database administrators and web content technicians). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
New graduate or PhD holder? Pick one of the lower rates.
