This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2211 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 48% sure that is the right code. PRIMARY CARE 24 LIMITED is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 2234 (Registered nurse practitioners) or SOC 2259 (Other health professionals not elsewhere classified). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
