SOC 2133 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,900, and Historic Royal Palaces 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 2132 (IT managers, Leads integration of DAMS/CMS systems, information management focus) or SOC 2472 (Archivists, conservators and curators, Collections management context). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
