This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2461 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, and Devon County 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 3229 (Welfare and housing associate professionals not elsewhere classified., Welfare assessor role but requires registered professional status), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Devon County Council what the duties actually are.
