This role may not meet Skilled Worker requirements
SOC 4142 is not currently on the eligible-occupation list, so a Skilled Worker visa is unlikely here. Check the occupation eligibility rules and confirm with the employer.
This could also be SOC 4141 (Office managers) or SOC 4112 (Local government administrative occupations). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
