This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2137 (78% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £45,600, and Forsyth Barnes 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 2133 (IT business analysts, architects and systems designers, If role focused on designing infrastructure systems rather than hands-on support.) or SOC 3132 (IT user support technicians, If work were primarily user-facing desktop and device support.). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

- Supporting infrastructure changes, upgrades and rollouts.
- Investigating problems, identifying root causes and putting practical fixes in place.
- Working with third-party technology providers when issues require escalation.
- Providing occasional out-of-hours support as part of a low-volume on-call arrangement.
- Helping improve the way infrastructure support is delivered as the business continues to evolve.
What We're Looking For:

About sponsorship for this role
Does this job guarantee visa sponsorship?
Not necessarily. Forsyth Barnes holds a sponsor licence, but sponsorship for a specific hire is always the employer's decision. Be upfront in your application that you'll require it.
What salary is needed for this role to be eligible?
The offer must clear both the general threshold and the SOC 2137 going rate of £45,600. New-entrant and shortage discounts can lower it.
