SOC 2421 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £49,200, and Almac Group 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 1131 (Financial managers and directors, Leads a finance team and oversees month-end processes). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
