Join NHS Scotland
Join NHS Scotland as a Chief Executive and be a catalyst for positive transformation.
The NHS in Scotland is unique, both in the way it is established but also in the way it works.
From our world-leading Patient Safety Programme to our approach to health and social care integration, including the development of our new National Care Service, Scotland offers huge opportunities to innovate and transform the services we provide to our patients and communities.
Across the country, we are ensuring people get the right care and support for their individual needs, and that staff across health and social care are equipped to work together to make full use of their shared skills and resources.

Director of Health and Social Care Finance, Digital and Governance
Looking Forward
There is no doubt that the challenges confronting the NHS in Scotland and its partners as it recovers from the pandemic are huge. As we look forward, continuity in the leadership across the health and care system will be fundamental to its recovery.
A number of Chief Executive vacancies are now opening up across NHS Scotland Boards providing an opportunity for aspiring leaders to deliver change and make a lasting impact on healthcare in Scotland.
The NHS in Scotland is constantly evolving and prioritises innovation, collaboration and patient-centred care. Its core values are:
- care and compassion;
- dignity and respect;
- openness, honest and responsibility;
- quality and teamwork.
A healthier and happier Scotland
Health and care in Scotland is a complex landscape, so it’s imperative that you are able to foster strong, collaborative relationships with partner organisations such as Integration Joint Boards, Health & Social Care Partnerships, Local Authorities and the Scottish Government.
In 2021, the National Health Services of the United Kingdom was awarded the George Cross, the highest civilian gallantry award, recognising over seventy years of the NHS supporting the people of the UK with courage, compassion and dedication.
By stepping into the forefront of health and care leadership with NHS Scotland, you will become part of a compassionate and dedicated team where your values align with our mission to provide exceptional healthcare to all, creating a healthier and happier Scotland.
