SOC 2482 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £48,200, and Rathbones 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 2422 (Finance and investment analysts and advisers, Investment suitability review work could be investment analysis) or SOC 2421 (Chartered and certified accountants, Compliance auditing of client files in financial services). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
