SOC 2455 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £44,300, and Khokhar Solicitors 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 1258 (Directors in consultancy services, If the role is mainly director-level business leadership rather than planning work) or SOC 2452 (Chartered architectural technologists, planning officers and consultants, If the role focuses on town planning rather than transport planning). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
New graduate or PhD holder? Pick one of the lower rates.
