This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2316 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, and HORIZON CARE AND EDUCATION SERVICES LIMITED 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, Deputy headteacher assisting headteacher in running school could be managerial). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
