SOC 2234 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, 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 2233 (Registered specialist nurses, Specialist nursing care in Emergency Department could fit) or SOC 2211 (Generalist medical practitioners, Advanced clinical assessment and diagnosis resembles medical practice). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
