SOC 2433 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £55,100, and Lead Forensics 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 3544 (Data analysts, Role involves data analysis and pattern identification). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
