This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3534 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 42% sure that is the right code. Michael Page 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 1131 (Financial managers and directors) or SOC 2421 (Chartered and certified accountants). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
