Recruiting New Scots and International Workers into Adult Social Care

In Scotland, 1 in 13 people work in social services. Every day they make a difference to people’s lives, with opportunities to gain new skills and qualifications in a role that offers great personal fulfilment.

The Centre for Workforce Supply Social Care team (CWSS), part of NHS Education for Scotland (NES), is delivering a national infrastructure of support to the adult social care sector in Scotland, empowering care providers to embed ethical and sustainable, person-centred international recruitment practices. CWSS also provide advice and guidance to New Scots, including displaced workers, seeking roles in adult social care and to employers looking to recruit from this talent pool.

Online resources are available to support candidates through each stage of securing a job in Scotland, navigating the requirements of international recruitment and settling into a new life in Scotland. Visit our Turas Learn website for your International Recruitment needs.

There are also resources for New Scots and displaced workers, with 4 main sections offering bespoke pathways for candidates, employers, New Scots and displaced workers.
