Recruitment and careers
Without the dedication and professionalism of our staff, NES would be unable to deliver education and training for those working in NHSScotland. That's why it is so important for us to nurture rewarding, interesting careers and a sustainable work-life balance.
We manage the recruitment and selection processes to posts within NES and training schemes in:
- general practice
- dentistry
- psychology
- management training
- nursing and midwifery
- Pharmacy recruitment - Foundation training
- healthcare science
Recruitment to training schemes takes place annually.
