This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 4122 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and JCB 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 3533 (Financial and accounting technicians, Transactional AP and purchase ledger work alongside accounting support duties) or SOC 2421 (Chartered and certified accountants, Management accounting progression, but not yet qualified accountant). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
