**ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR CANDIDATES**:
**_NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week for _**_NHS Agenda for Change workers in Scotland _**_from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours.
