01 Sector context
Teaching and research occupations
Education and research jobs include secondary, primary and special needs teachers, higher education professionals, scientists and researchers. Some occupations have different going rate or salary treatment, and whether a specific job can be sponsored depends on the occupation, the employer sponsor licence, the salary and the current rules.

Four checks belong together.
Do not rely on the sector or employer name alone. Check the details of the specific job.
Occupation code
The exact duties and occupation code matter. Similar job titles can sit under different codes.
Licensed sponsor
Check that the employer appears on the sponsor register and read the result in the context of the exact vacancy.
Salary context
Compare the advertised salary with the published salary treatment and going rate for the occupation.
Exact vacancy
A sponsor licence does not mean every job will be sponsored. The employer decides whether sponsorship is offered.
