Job Opportunity

NHS Scotland is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce, promoting equality and eliminating unlawful discrimination. Our goal is to create a truly representative team where each employee feels valued and empowered to excel.

We strive to provide a supportive environment for all employees, including those with disabilities, long-term conditions, or neurodivergent individuals. We make reasonable adjustments to our recruitment processes to ensure equal opportunities for all.
