We will fully support disabled candidates, and candidates with long‑term conditions or who are neurodivergent by making reasonable adjustments to our recruitment policy and practices. To work in the United Kingdom, there is a legal requirement for an individual to demonstrate that they have the relevant permission to work in the country. This permission is, without exception, granted by the UK Visa and Immigration Service. As part of the pre‑employment checks for a preferred candidate, NHS Scotland Boards will check your entitlement to work in the UK. It can be evidenced through a number of routes including specific types of visa as well as EU settled and pre‑settled status. Refer to the GOV.UK website for more information. If you do not have the necessary eligibility to work in the UK, it may be possible (though not guaranteed) to secure sponsorship via a UK Skilled Worker/Health & Care Worker Visa. This is only possible if the employer is a licensed Sponsor and if the post does not fall below the current minimum salary threshold or ‘going rate’. It is essential that you have checked that you already have an appropriate right to work in the UK or that the post would be eligible to be sponsored before submitting your application form. Due to legislative changes from 1 April 2025, this post may require a different level of criminal records check than is currently the case. If the post is assessed as a “regulated role”, your appointment will be subject to joining the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme. Any changes to what is currently required will be confirmed by either the Hiring Manager or the Recruitment Team. For more details on these changes please visit: . Seniority level
