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. If there is any change to what is currently required, this will be confirmed by either the Hiring Manager or the Recruitment Team.

To work in the United Kingdom, you need to demonstrate relevant permission to work in the country. This permission is granted by the UK Visa and Immigration Service. NHS Scotland Boards will check your entitlement to work in the UK. Your eligibility can be evidenced through various routes including UK visas, EU settled status, etc. For more information, refer to the  website here.

For specific types of post, if you do not have the necessary eligibility to work in the UK, it might be possible to secure sponsorship via a UK Skilled Worker/Health & Care Worker Visa. However, 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’.

Further information on these criteria can be found here.

It is ESSENTIAL that you have checked that you either 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.

We cannot accept late applications so please ensure your application is submitted early.
