SOC 2235 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, and Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust 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 2461 (Social workers, If the role is primarily social work rather than nursing). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
