More detail on the vast range of careers within NHSScotland is available here. Our workforce is large and varied and all roles in our team, whether clinical or non-clinical, equally contribute to ensuring we provide the best possible care to the people of Ayrshire.
If you are looking for a career that excites you, stretches your potential and gives you job satisfaction we hope that Ayrshire may be the place for you, but don’t just take our word for it, according to our last iMatter staff survey, our employees feel they are treated with dignity and respect and that they get a sense of achievement from their roles.
As an employer we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workforce, which is reflective of the population we serve, and provides opportunity for those in underrepresented groups including LGBTQ people, black and minority ethic people and disabled people.
