This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2419 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Stewarts 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 3520 (Legal associate professionals, Paralegal role providing legal administrative support) or SOC 4121 (Credit controllers, Debt recovery focus within credit control department). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
