This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2259 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, and Central and North West London 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.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 3229 (Welfare and housing associate professionals not elsewhere classified., Outreach development worker is an index entry for 3229), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust what the duties actually are.
