Working Arrangements

NHS Scotland is introducing a reduced working week of 37 hours, with no change in pay, from 1 April 2024. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part-time staff. You may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period, for which you will be paid, until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week.
