NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

This role does not meet the eligibility criteria for a Skilled Worker visa or a Health and Care Worker visa. NHS Highland is unable to provide candidates with a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS).

A 25-hour Catering Assistant position has arisen within our busy kitchen to work as part of a team to maintain a clean, safe working environment and assist in the preparation of all patient, staff, and visitor meals.

You must have the ability to work as part of a team or on your own initiative, follow instructions, and possess good communication skills.

You will be required to achieve the mandatory Induction standards for Healthcare Support Workers in Scotland and to comply with the Code of Conduct throughout your employment.

While an Elementary Food Hygiene Certificate is desirable, full training will be provided.
