SOC code - help needed

Post by dardar1 » Sun Oct 07, 2018 6:03 pm

Hi,

Really need some help with SOC codes please.
I work as Data Content Administrator which is SOC code 2426. I have an opportunity to change my role to Product Analyst in next 3-4 months staying in the same company. My employer is confident that my new potential role is within the same SOC code 2426.

I want to be sure that the soc code is the same before taking the job as I don't want to go through the application process again. Are there any ways to check the soc code? I would appreciate any help.

Main role responsibilities are the following:
- Contribute towards the delivery of business requirements across entire business product lifecycles from initial research through to launch.
- Liaise with teams across the company to identify and document business requirements
- Generate and develop ideas for Companys's products
- Provide administrative support for product development: gather and verify data, develop, prioritise and maintain backlog of user stories.
- Review and provide feedback on product delivery via presentations or written reports.

Also, I started to work for the company only one month ago. Could it cause any issues if I take a new job and my role will change within such a short period of time?

Yes, I applied again and was granted my visa for 3 years.

And yes the code for the current role is 2426.

I've got this information from the "Tier 2 and 5 Guidance for sponsor" page 105:

"If you require assistance in obtaining a SOC code,
however, please contact the Office for National Statistics by sending an email
to occupation.information@ons.gov.uk, and supply the following information:
• the job title
• job description
• qualifications needed to do the job"

Hope be helpful

How is the new role different from your current role?
