SOC 2259 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, and Mid and South Essex 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 1171 (Health services and public health managers and directors, Leads multidisciplinary team and manages service performance across sites) or SOC 1136 (Human resource managers and directors, Business partner title and commercial growth responsibilities). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
