This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2237 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, and We Change Lives 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 2233 (Registered specialist nurses, Complex care specialism could fit registered specialist nurse) or SOC 1171 (Health services and public health managers and directors, Lead Nurse provides clinical leadership and staff management). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
