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, Registered theatre nurse if NMC nursing registration dominates the role). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
