SOC 1171 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £50,300, and BLACK COUNTRY HEALTHCARE SOLUTIONS LTD 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 2259 (Other health professionals not elsewhere classified., If clinical leadership outweighs managerial duties). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
