This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1172 (63% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £43,000, and Rutland County Council is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
In 2025, Rutland County Council assigned Certificates of Sponsorship for other occupations, but none for SOC 1172, according to the Home Office.
We pick the code from the advert's text, so it is our best guess, not the employer's. Each code it could be has its own likelihood:
- Likely 1172 (Social services managers and directors) · 63% match
- Likely 2461 (Social workers) · 33% match
New graduate or PhD holder? Pick one of the lower rates.

We use the lowest threshold across the plausible codes. Likelihood is Possible at most when the pay clears only a lower rate, or only under a less likely code. A mark is for the top of the advertised pay. How the Home Office picks the code
