SOC 1171 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £50,300, and North west Ambulance Service 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 1137 (Information technology directors, Focus on digital/IT leadership rather than clinical service management). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
