This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 6136 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £33,400, and Agincare 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 6135 (Care workers and home carers, If the leadership duties are minor and care work dominates). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

About sponsorship for this role
Does this job guarantee visa sponsorship?
Not necessarily. Agincare holds a sponsor licence, but sponsorship for a specific hire is always the employer's decision. Be upfront in your application that you'll require it.
What salary is needed for this role to be eligible?
The offer must clear both the general threshold and the SOC 6136 going rate of £33,400. New-entrant and shortage discounts can lower it.
