SOC 4122 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 50% sure that is the right code. Verallia UK is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 3533 (Financial and accounting technicians) or SOC 4129 (Financial administrative occupations not elsewhere classified). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
