SOC 2132 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £55,000, and HM Land Registry 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 2139 (Information technology professionals not elsewhere classified., SAM lead). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
