This role may not meet Skilled Worker requirements
SOC 3560 is not currently on the eligible-occupation list, so a Skilled Worker visa is unlikely here. Check the occupation eligibility rules and confirm with the employer.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 1171 (Health services and public health managers and directors, Manages budgets and programmes, but not primarily people management), which is on the eligible-occupation list. Ask London Borough of Lewisham what the duties actually are.
