SOC 2259 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, and Nuffield Health Tunbridge Wells Hospital 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 2233 (Registered specialist nurses, Theatre nurse role if the practitioner is a registered nurse). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
