Medical radiographers (SOC Code 2254)

What this means for sponsors

The going rate sets the per-occupation salary floor for medical radiographers sponsorships. A sponsor must pay at least this annual figure or the health and care worker visa general salary threshold, whichever is higher.

Health and Care Worker route: sponsorship under the Health and Care Worker visa uses a lower salary threshold (£25,000) and exempts sponsors from the Immigration Skills Charge. See the Health and Care visa jobs page for active listings.

National Pay Scale: sponsorship for this role uses the relevant national pay scale (NHS Agenda for Change, school teachers' pay scale, or equivalent) rather than an ASHE-derived figure. The threshold is the scale rate for the band advertised.

Going rates are derived from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), published annually by the Office for National Statistics. The Home Office applies the 25th-percentile ASHE figure for each SOC code as the per-occupation minimum, updated each April alongside the Immigration Rules statement of changes.
