This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2440 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £56,500, and Milton Keynes Council is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 1251 (Property, housing and estate managers, Manages property assets and estate portfolio), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Milton Keynes Council what the duties actually are.
