Part-time owrk under Tier 5

[guruasis12345]

Can we legally work part-time under Tier 5 incase the main/sponsored job requires skill in computers while part-time needs you to be just a a waiter?

No you can not work as a waiter:

An applicant can undertake work that is supplementary to that for which his/her certificate of sponsorship has been issued. Supplementary employment must meet the following criteria:
must be in the same sector and at the same level as the work for which the certificate of sponsorship was issued;
must be no more than 20 hours per week;
must be outside of the applicant’s normal working hours for which his/her certificate of sponsorship was issued.

The applicant must continue to work for the sponsor in the employment that the certificate of sponsorship records that he/she is being sponsored to do.

What does one mean by "must be in the same sector". Does it mean that I can work only in an office-environment with computers (white collar job) or otherwise. And my job is project assistant so it means i can do any project assistant part time job like Admin one also

Is an admin job at the same level as your project assistant job? I doubt it would be.

The job would also have to be in the same sector, so if you are a project assistant in construction say, you could really only do a very similar job part time.

You would also have to continue working in the job you are sponsored to do.

Is there any need for the RED?

Well Admin job which I am thinking has a heading "Assistant", with my employer ready to say with confidence that it is for a project

The job would also have to be in the same sector, so if you are a project assistant in construction say, you could really only do a very similar job part time.

How can they find out sector when I can show that any desktop job is a computer job which comes under IT.

You would also have to continue working in the job you are sponsored to do.

I know that and why should I be leaving my job for which I was sponsored as it is the reason I am taking all this pain to come to UK. The part-time job I am thinking is to just fit into larger culture or some extra money

Is there any need for the RED?

RED is needed or rather used out of consideration for the reader to differentiate from the older posts. Hope it helped you as you are the most concerned about my queries which I really appreciate and probably obliged as well.

I assume you're on the youth mobility scheme? And therefore not on a CoS. If that's the case then the responses have been misleading - but you should make clear what part of Tier 5 you're on.

If you're on youth mobility scheme then you can do pretty much whatever work you want (with some restrictions on setting up businesses).

From INF 28 guidance on YMS:

As a successful applicant you will be free to do whatever work you like during your stay in the United Kingdom except for self-employment (subject to certain exceptions, see below), working as a professional sportsperson (including as a sports coach) or working as a doctor in training. You may also engage in privately funded studies, voluntary work and au pair placements. There must be no recourse to public funds.

No No mate....I am on "Tier 5 - Government Authorized Exchange" so that's why I am worrying because the responsibility of the work one does in this is on both the applicant as well as the sponsor. Its latter what I am concerned about becoz i need to let him know that i will be part-timing. But not sure whether its the visa people who tell me whether a part-time i do is legal under this particular scheme or it is the sponsor who need to let me know the same?
