SOC 3212 (83% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £33,400, and Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board 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). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
