Common questions

Does Solihull Council sponsor visas for its professional apprenticeships including cipfa and level 7?

Unconfirmed. Solihull Council publishes no sponsorship policy for its professional apprenticeships including cipfa and level 7, so we cannot state a firm answer. Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council advertises all of its apprenticeships on WM Jobs and says pay depends on the apprenticeship and the level, with a floor of the National Living Wage (which the page gives as £11.44 an hour). Its apprentice success stories set out a finance ladder: a finance apprentice who completed Level 3 and Level 4 AAT at college one day a week and is now a Level 7 apprentice working towards ACCA as a Senior Accounting Technician, and another studying for the CIPFA qualification through the apprenticeship route after AAT. Other stories cover a Level 4 Associate Project Manager apprenticeship and a benefits assessor who started in October 2023 on a Level 4 Revenues and Welfare Benefits Practitioner apprenticeship with a dedicated study day each week. The council offers 25 days' leave rising to 30, flexi-time and the Local Government Pension Scheme. It says nothing about visa sponsorship or residency.

Does the pay clear the UK Skilled Worker salary threshold?

The pay for this scheme sits below the Skilled Worker salary threshold, which is itself a reason sponsorship is not possible.
