This role may not meet Skilled Worker requirements
SOC 1224 is not currently on the eligible-occupation list, so a Skilled Worker visa is unlikely here. Check the occupation eligibility rules and confirm with the employer.
This could also be SOC 4159 (Other administrative occupations not elsewhere classified) or SOC 3432 (Sports coaches, instructors and officials). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
