SOC 3541 (81% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Citizens Advice is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 3229 (Welfare and housing associate professionals not elsewhere classified), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Citizens Advice what the duties actually are.

Not necessarily. Citizens Advice holds a sponsor licence, but sponsorship for a specific hire is always the employer's decision. Be upfront in your application that you'll require it.

The offer must clear both the general threshold and the SOC 3541 going rate of £41,700. New-entrant and shortage discounts can lower it.
