This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2231 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, and West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals 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 2237 (Other registered nursing professionals, Nurse-tutor index entry; role is education-focused midwifery teaching) or SOC 2311 (Higher education teaching professionals, Midwife tutor/lecturer if teaching at degree level). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
