This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2237 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, and Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare 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.
This could also be SOC 1232 (Residential, day and domiciliary care managers and proprietors, If managing the unit is the main job rather than nursing leadership). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
