This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2229 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 53% sure that is the right code. East Sussex County Council is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 6131 (Nursing auxiliaries and assistants) or SOC 6135 (Care workers and home carers). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
