This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2233 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 59% sure that is the right code. University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 2237 (Other registered nursing professionals) or SOC 1171 (Health services and public health managers and directors). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

About the role
This is a key leadership role within a busy interventional radiology service. The successful candidate will provide visible clinical leadership, supporting the day-to-day operational management of the service while maintaining a strong focus on patient experience, quality improvement, staff development and wellbeing.
The primary focus of the role will be leading the Interventional Radiology nursing team, ensuring the provision of safe, effective and compassionate care for patients undergoing a wide range of interventional procedures. The post holder will provide oversight for the IR service – including the pre-assessment of the patients, the management of the daycase unit and the day-to-day running of the interventional radiology unit. There will be a need to work clinically within each of the three area (the pre-operative service, the day case unit and in the interventional radiology environment).
This is a fast-paced, highly specialised and hands-on role requiring excellent clinical skills, sound judgement and the ability to effectively manage complex situations. The successful candidate will be experienced in interventional radiology practice or a similar interventional speciality and demonstrate strong technical, organisational and leadership capabilities.
In addition to maintaining high standards of clinical practice, the Radiology Clinical Lead will be responsible for workforce planning and management, ensuring safe staffing levels, risk assessment and mitigation, staff training and development, competency management, rostering and supporting service improvements. The post holder will work closely with the wider multidisciplinary team to ensure the delivery of a responsive, patient-centred service.
