SOC 2254 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, and University Hospital Southampton NHS FT 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 1171 (Health services and public health managers and directors, Leads department education and staff, could be health services manager) or SOC 2322 (Education managers, Leads educational needs and training plans within department). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
