Occupation code 1136 (Human resource managers and directors) is eligible for the Skilled Worker route on the rules in force from 11 Nov 2025.
Immigration Rules Appendix Skilled Occupations
Against: Estimated salary is below the going rate
No salary is stated, so this uses an estimate of £51,988 from ASHE estimate (low end of the senior band) (1 Apr 2025). It falls £912 short of the going rate for occupation code 1136 of £52,900. Because that salary is estimated rather than stated, this rule counts half.
