This role may not meet Skilled Worker requirements
SOC 4136 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 3571 (Human resources and industrial relations officers), which is on the eligible-occupation list. Ask International Baccalaureate what the duties actually are.
