SOC 2133 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,900, and SARIA UK 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 2134 (Programmers and software development professionals, SharePoint development and technical configuration work) or SOC 3573 (Information technology trainers, Strong focus on training and user adoption programmes). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
