SOC 1136 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £52,900, and NHS England 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 2322 (Education managers, Role manages postgraduate medical education programmes within a deanery) or SOC 1171 (Health services and public health managers and directors, Health services management role within NHS England). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
