This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2316 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 47% sure that is the right code. Lewisham Council is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 2321 (Head teachers and principals, Leads SEND provision and strategy across school). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
