This role may not meet Skilled Worker requirements
SOC 5315 is an eligible occupation, and South Bank Colleges is a licensed sponsor, but this role does not currently meet Skilled Worker sponsorship requirements.
This could also be SOC 5330 (Construction and building trades supervisors, If the role includes supervising construction staff/students). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
