SOC 2211 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, 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 1171 (Health services and public health managers and directors, If the role were primarily managing health services rather than clinical GP education.) or SOC 2312 (Further education teaching professionals, If the educational leadership of GP training were the dominant function.). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

If you currently work within the NHS and if successful at interview, we will initiate an Inter Authority Transfer (IAT) via the Electronic Staff Record (ESR). This retrieves key data from your current or previous NHS employer to support onboarding, including competency status, Continuous Service Dates (CSD), and annual leave entitlement. You may opt out at any stage of the process.
