This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 4129 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Venesky Brown 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 4142 (Office supervisors, Manages, plans, delegates and allocates staff resources, suggesting supervisory duties), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Venesky Brown what the duties actually are.
