If the post is assessed as a "regulated role", your appointment will be subject to joining the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme. If there is any change to what is currently required, this will be confirmed by either the Hiring Manager or the Recruitment Team. For more details on these changes please visit: &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;To work in the United Kingdom, there is a legal requirement for an individual to demonstrate that they have the relevant permission to work in the country. This permission is, without exception, granted by the UK Visa and Immigrations Service.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As part of the pre-employment checks for a preferred candidate, NHS Scotland Boards &lt;strong&gt;will&lt;/strong&gt; check your entitlement to work in the UK. It can be evidenced through a number of routes including specific types of visa as well as EU settled and pre-settled status. To find out more about these routes of permission, please refer to the GOV.UK website.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;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 &amp;amp; Care Worker Visa. However, this is only possible if the employer is a licenced Sponsor, and if the post does not fall below the current minimum salary threshold or ‘going rate’. Further information on these criteria can be found.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;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 sponsoredBEFORE submitting your application form&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;PLEASE NOTE: We cannot accept late applications so please ensure your application is submitted early**&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination.
