This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1241 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £44,900, and Uniserve is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 8239 (Other drivers and transport operatives not elsewhere classified., Supervising drivers and transport operations could be classed as transport operative supervision), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Uniserve what the duties actually are.
