This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2229 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 49% sure that is the right code. East Suffolk and North Essex 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 2259 (Other health professionals not elsewhere classified). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
