Skip to content not in landmark

Hello,
I'm plowing through our site trying to clean up things that the accessibility checker we are using is flaggin.
We use html landmark elements on our pages. However, my "skip to content" link which appears even above my <header> element is not in a landmark element. I'm interested in options for fixing this. It doesn't seem right putting it in the <header> element because it isn't really part of the header.

Is a <nav> element appropriate for a single link? Or would using role="navigation" be more appropriate? Wondering what others do.

Thank you,
