SOC 1133 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 55% sure that is the right code. The Labour Party is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
We pick the code from the advert's text, so it is our best guess, not the employer's. Each code it could be has its own likelihood:
- Possible 1133 (Public relations and communications directors) · 55% match
- Possible 2493 (Public relations professionals) · 21% match
- Ineligible 4113 (Officers of non-governmental organisations) · 14% match
