This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2461 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 33% sure that is the right code. Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust 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 2234 (Registered nurse practitioners) or SOC 2236 (Registered children’s nurses). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

You have a proven track record in safeguarding and are able to demonstrate extensive knowledge and skills relevant to safeguarding children. You will have a working knowledge of the relevant legal framework. A Professional Qualification in health and social care would be an advantage.
You will be operating as a lead practitioner for safeguarding within a defined geographical area and may have a thematic trust wide lead for a specific area of safeguarding practice e.g. complex presentations or exploitation.

- Representing the trust at Safeguarding Partnership subgroups with responsibility for participating in safeguarding developments.
- Delivering training including the L3 Children's/adults online and face to face training.
