Right to Work in the UK
To work in the United Kingdom, you must demonstrate that you have the relevant permission to work in the country, granted by the UK Visa and Immigration Service. NHS Scotland Boards will check your entitlement to work in the UK as part of the pre-employment checks. 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 & Care Worker Visa, provided the employer is a licensed sponsor and the post meets the minimum salary threshold. For specific types of post, 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 sponsored BEFORE submitting your application form.
