Legal and Regulatory Requirements
To work in the United Kingdom, a legal requirement exists for an individual to demonstrate relevant permission to work in the country. This permission is granted by the UK Visa and Immigrations Service. Further information on what NHS Scotland Boards are required to do to check this, and on your responsibilities, can be found in the further information for this vacancy. This post requires the post holder to have a PVG Scheme membership/record. If the post holder is not a current PVG member for the required regulatory group (i.e. child and/or adult) an application will need to be made to Disclosure Scotland and deemed satisfactory before they can begin in post. 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. For more details on these changes please visit: Disclosure Scotland Changes.
