SOC 2314 (88% match) is an eligible occupation, and Lincolnshire County Council 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 2321 (Head teachers and principals). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
