This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2224 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 26% sure that is the right code. South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation 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 2226 (Other psychologists) or SOC 2229 (Therapy professionals not elsewhere classified). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
