Hiring in Edinburgh

What the Edinburgh market looks like.

Edinburgh's services run through NHS Lothian, covering the city plus West Lothian, Midlothian and East Lothian sites. Fife and Forth Valley are within commuting distance for many candidates, and Scottish NHS terms and PVG scheme membership apply rather than the English DBS route.
