SOC 6131 (78% match) is an eligible occupation, and NHS Grampian is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
In 2025, NHS Grampian assigned 114 or more Certificates of Sponsorship for SOC 6131 jobs, according to the Home Office.
This could also be SOC 6135 (Care workers and home carers). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
New graduate or PhD holder? Pick one of the lower rates.
