SOC 1254 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 46% sure that is the right code. Leicestershire County 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.
We pick the code from the advert's text, so it is our best guess, not the employer's. Each code it could be has its own likelihood:
- Possible 1254 (Waste disposal and environmental services managers) · 46% match
- Ineligible 3551 (Buyers and procurement officers) · 21% match
- Likely 2152 (Environment professionals) · 11% match
