SOC 2423 (88% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £48,500, and Severn Trent 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 2421 (Chartered and certified accountants, Qualified chartered accountant role managing tax; accounting background emphasised). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
