This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1232 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 29% sure that is the right code. Milton Keynes Council is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 7220 (Customer service supervisors), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Milton Keynes Council what the duties actually are.
