This role may not meet Skilled Worker requirements
SOC 8211 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.
This could also be SOC 9253 (Delivery operatives) or SOC 8214 (Delivery drivers and couriers). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
