This role may not meet Skilled Worker requirements
SOC 7132 is not currently on the eligible-occupation list, so a Skilled Worker visa is unlikely here. Check the occupation eligibility rules and confirm with the employer.
This could also be SOC 7111 (Sales and retail assistants, Optical Assistant role focuses on customer service and sales) or SOC 7114 (Pharmacy and optical dispensing assistants, Optical dispensing assistant dispenses spectacles and contact lenses). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
