Why we are recruiting now

Frontline Insourcing bids for NHS Scotland insourcing contracts, and Health Boards rightly want assurance that a provider can staff a service locally from the point of award, rather than relying on staff travelling from elsewhere, building a Scottish clinical bank in advance is how we give that assurance and how services start on time. This means we are recruiting ahead of demand, and we will be straight with you about that at every stage, we will not tell you work is imminent when it is not, and we will not ask you to complete compliance checks until there is a realistic prospect of an assignment.

Pay and assignments

Rates are set per assignment and vary by Health Board, specialty, list type, hours and skills required, there is no single fixed rate across the bank. You will be given full details, including location, dates, clinical scope, rate and payment terms, before being asked to commit, and nothing is confirmed until you accept in writing. Joining the bank places you under no obligation to accept work, and declining an assignment has no bearing on future offers.

How you will be paid

The payment method available to you depends on the IR35 status determination for the particular assignment, and, where more than one route applies, on your own preference. Before you accept any assignment within the off-payroll working rules, you will be issued a Status Determination Statement setting out the conclusion and reasons, and depending on that determination, engagement may be through our own payroll, an approved umbrella company, or your own limited company. We will explain the options, the effect on your take-home pay, and your right to disagree with a determination through our status disagreement process. We do not operate or promote arrangements designed to disguise remuneration, and we will not engage anyone through a scheme of that kind.

Equal opportunities

Frontline Insourcing is committed to equality of opportunity and to a workforce reflecting the communities NHS Scotland serves, welcoming registrations regardless of any protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and Fairer Scotland Duty, and making reasonable adjustments at every stage of registration and deployment on request. We are a Disability Confident Committed employer (Level 1), guaranteeing an interview to any disabled applicant meeting the essential criteria, and will work with you on any adjustment needed to take up work.

Safer recruitment

Frontline Insourcing operates a safer recruitment framework aligned to NHS Employers pre-employment check standards and NHS Scotland safer recruitment expectations, with all engagements subject to satisfactory identity and right to work verification, professional registration verification, PVG Scheme membership, occupational health clearance, full employment history and satisfactory references. Offers of work are conditional until all checks are complete, and failure to disclose relevant information may result in withdrawal of an offer or removal from the bank.
