This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2482 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £48,200, and Affinity Trust 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 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts, Quality coach role with improvement projects and facilitation focus) or SOC 3549 (Business associate professionals not elsewhere classified., Continuous improvement officer/coordinator functions fit well). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
