SOC 3552 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and The National College is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 3554 (Advertising and marketing associate professionals, If the role focuses more on marketing support than direct sales). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
