SOC 3544 (69% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and NHS Highland 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 2433 (Actuaries, economists and statisticians). 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.

Not necessarily. NHS Highland holds a sponsor licence, but sponsorship for a specific hire is always the employer's decision. Be upfront in your application that you'll require it.

The offer must clear both the general threshold and the SOC 3544 going rate of £41,700. New-entrant and shortage discounts can lower it.
