This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3132 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Bupa UK is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 2134 (Programmers and software development professionals, If development is the primary duty over support). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
