This role may not meet Skilled Worker requirements
SOC 1259 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.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 1171 (Health services and public health managers and directors), which is on the eligible-occupation list. Ask CAMHS Professionals what the duties actually are.
