Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among its workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for the workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society. It should be noted that the State Hospital is a high‑secure hospital and the current organisational position based on a risk assessment is that we welcome applications from people under the age of 18 for non‑clinical roles; however, to be eligible for a clinical role applicants should be 18 years and older. Should you have any questions, please contact TSH.Jobs@nhs.scot.
Right to Work
To work in the United Kingdom, a legal requirement exists 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 this entitlement to work in the UK. It can be evidenced through a number of routes including specific types of visa, and settled and pre‑settled status. For more details, refer to the GOV.UK website.
For specific types of posts, 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 online.
The State Hospital is NOT licensed to issue certificates of sponsorship under current UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) regulations. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK without requiring sponsorship to work with us.
It is ESSENTIAL that you have checked that you have an appropriate right to work in the UK BEFORE applying.
Contact for Application Support
