Occupation not currently eligible
This role may not meet Skilled Worker requirements
SOC 5441 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.
This could also be SOC 5224 (Precision instrument makers and repairers, Optical instrument making/repairing focus if lens cutting dominates) or SOC 3211 (Dispensing opticians, Dispensing optician if role involves patient-facing dispensing). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
