Last reviewed 21 October 2026
Key points
- Medical radiographers are listed under SOC 2254.
- SOC 2254 is on the main current Health and Care Worker occupation list.
- A licensed employer does not automatically sponsor every radiographer vacancy.
- Professional registration and immigration requirements are separate checks.
Check the occupation first
SOC 2254 is the current occupation code for medical radiographers in the Health and Care Worker list.
Confirm the duties in the job description match the occupation before relying on the salary or route information.
Check the sponsor and vacancy
Search the employing organisation on the sponsor register, then read the individual advert to see whether sponsorship is offered.
The sponsor licence proves the organisation can sponsor on the relevant route. It does not compel the employer to sponsor a particular vacancy.
Salary and professional conditions
Some eligible healthcare occupations use national pay scales for their salary test. Check the current national pay scale and any occupation specific rules for the vacancy.
Registration with the relevant professional regulator may also be required to practise, independently of the immigration route.
