SOC 1232 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £40,400, and Greensleeves Care 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 6135 (Care workers and home carers). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
