NHS Highland is a geographically large regional board of NHS Scotland, covering an area of 12,500 square miles across Highland and Argyll & Bute. We strive to create a positive culture that supports our NHS and Social Care values: Care and compassion, Dignity and respect, Openness, honesty and responsibility, and Quality and teamwork.
We are committed to reducing our full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024, with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part-time staff. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37-hour working week immediately, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week.
