SOC 2440 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £56,500, and Rayner 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 2482 (Quality assurance and regulatory professionals, Quality and regulatory focus on medical device risk management files) or SOC 3549 (Business associate professionals not elsewhere classified, Risk officer role advising on procedures and systems). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
