SOC 2421 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £49,200, and Just Group plc 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 4122 (Book-keepers, payroll managers and wages clerks, If the role is more routine bookkeeping than qualified accounting). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
