SOC 2431 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £50,200, and Irwin Mitchell 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 2139 (Information technology professionals not elsewhere classified., If the role is more technical IT professional n.e.c.) or SOC 2132 (IT managers, If managing IT services is the main focus). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
