Right to Work
To work in the United Kingdom there is a legal requirement to demonstrate that you have the relevant permission to work. This permission is granted by the UK Visas and Immigration Service. NHS Scotland Boards will check entitlement to work as part of pre-employment checks and may consider routes including visa types and EU settled/pre-settled status. For more information visit GOV.UK.
Sponsorship and Eligibility
For specific types of post, if you do not have the necessary eligibility to work in the UK, it might be possible (though not guaranteed) to secure sponsorship via a UK Skilled Worker/Health & Care Worker Visa, subject to the employer being a licensed sponsor and the post meeting salary thresholds. Further information on these criteria can be found online.
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.
