TWEEDDALE AND EILDON WEST HEALTH VISITING CLUSTER

Main base; Peebles

HEALTH VISITING SERVICE

HEALTH VISITOR FIXED TERM 29.6 hrs per week

An opportunity has arisen for a suitably qualified Health Visitor to apply for a fixed term post in the Tweeddale and Eildon West Health Visiting team for 9 months. The post is based in Peebles but the successful candidate will be expected to support service delivery across the wider cluster that includes Stow and Galashiels, and occasionally other cluster areas if the need arises.

Applications will also be considered from trainee Health Visitors approaching the end of their training.

Due to legislative changes from 1 April 2025, this post may require a different level of criminal records check done than is currently the case. 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: Disclosure Scotland Changes . 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.

As part of the pre-employment checks for a preferred candidate, NHS Scotland Boards will 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 here .

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 & 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 here .

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

PLEASE NOTE: We cannot accept late applications so please ensure your application is submitted early**
