SOC 2133 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,900, and Bauer Media Outdoor 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 3533 (Financial and accounting technicians, If the role is more accounting support than systems design). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
