Why
Blocking: Not matched to a licence on the register
We could not match this employer to a licence on the Home Office register. That may mean they hold none, or that they trade under a name the register spells differently.
Home Office register of licensed sponsors
In favour: Occupation is eligible for Skilled Worker
Occupation code 2212 (Specialist medical practitioners and consultants) is eligible for the Skilled Worker route on the rules in force from 11 Nov 2025.
Immigration Rules Appendix Skilled Occupations
In favour: Estimated salary clears the going rate
No salary is stated, so this uses an estimate of £118,799 from ASHE estimate (low end of the principal band) (1 Apr 2025). It clears the general Skilled Worker salary threshold of £41,700 by £77,099. Because that salary is estimated rather than stated, this rule counts half.
Not established: The advert says nothing about sponsorship
We searched the advert for the usual wording in both directions and found none of it.
