This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2237 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, and Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation 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 1171 (Health services and public health managers and directors, If managing the ward is the main duty, not nursing). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
