Same sponsor different location Query

[Mysterymeow]

Morning all.

Quick question. I am currently employed as a teacher. My sponsors on my last CoS were Surrey County Council. I work at a school in Surrey as a Nursery teacher. I was hired as maternity cover and will hopefully be going to teach at a different school in Surrey as a Reception teacher. Do they have to do a resident market test as it is the same sponsor? Essentially it is the same job just at a different location. I thought that it would just be a straight forward extension.

Many thanks for reading this. Hope to hear from you soon!

Depends on how much your duties change and whether your new pay is less. Best to consult official guidance.

If you are going to remain employed by the same Sponsor doing a role that is the same SOC and it no more than a cnange of location then there is no need forRLMT.
I have one concern though - if you were employed on a fixed term contract for thr maternity cover only that may suggest that there is no continuing employment beyond the contract end date. In that case the RLMT would come into play as in real terms it is not the same job and is subject to different employment T&C,'s.
