Any insights on the "Teaching and Other Education Professionals" occupation code?
Is is code 2319 a "catch all" code for anything that isn't otherwise specified (as the title implies) or is it really limited in scope?
The "Jobs related to this code" section seems really limited: Adult education tutor Education consultant Music teacher Nursery manager (day nursery) Owner (nursery: children�s) Private tutor TEFL
I've been offered a job at a UK University doing quality/policy work, but they don't think this job code (or any others) would work to sponsor my skilled worker visa. Any advice or insight?

Just because you're doing quality and policy work at a university, doesn't make it a Teaching or Educational professional job. You aren't actually teaching or providing education to anyone. It would be a stretch to put the job you've been offered in this category. It sounds as though the university can't or won't sponsor you because your job isn't in one of the eligible occupation codes. They shouldn't have offered you the job if they knew this to begin with, unless they were unaware you needed sponsorship when you applied.
