Support, Guidance and Useful links
Roles within NHSScotland are advertised on the national recruitment platform.
On this platform you can use a few filters based on grade of role, location, and speciality.
The NHSScotland careers website provides more information about the NHSScotland recruitment process which may be useful when looking at your options.
You will need to complete an application form for roles you are interested in. You can learn more about the application process on the NHSScotland careers website.
A difficulty that people from the Armed Forces Community have highlighted is how to write about your transferrable skills. A short guide on how to do this can be found in this transferable job skills article on the NHSScotland website.
There are several things to consider when you are asked to attend an interview. This article on interview preparation gives some insight into how best to prepare for your interview:
Social Care
As there is no single employer in social care the application process can vary significantly between organisations and roles.
However, the principles and advice involved in the NHS application are a good starting point and will stand you in good stead, especially if you have worked on understanding your unique skillset and motivations for wanting to be part of social care.
Support to individuals during job seeking phase
