SOC 3573 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 47% sure that is the right code. Kurt Geiger is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 3133 (Database administrators and web content technicians) or SOC 2329 (Other educational professionals not elsewhere classified). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
