SOC 1135 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £44,300, and Human Appeal 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 1139 (Functional managers and directors not elsewhere classified, Head of programmes index entry; senior management across functions) or SOC 2494 (Advertising accounts managers and creative directors, Fundraising focus within the role's responsibilities). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
