Service leavers
Haven’t quite decided if you want to leave the armed forces? Have you formally notified your intention to leave through JPA? Ever considered the NHS as a place to work? Whatever stage you’re at in your transition into civilian employment, the Armed Forces Talent Programme (AFTP) is here to support you.
There's a role in the NHS for you
We recognise the knowledge, skills, and experience you’re leaving the armed forces with. Regardless of your rank or length of service, there is likely to be a role in the NHS for you. We want to help you discover the pathways to a range of job opportunities in NHSScotland.
Do you want to make a meaningful contribution to your community? Are you looking for an opportunity where you can use your existing knowledge and skills while also developing new ones? This is your opportunity to #ServeAgain. Starting a new career within one of our NHSScotland boards could be the right choice for you.
The Armed Forces Talent Programme
Our mission is simple. We want to recruit more members of the armed forces community into the NHSScotland workforce.
How we can help you
We’ll provide advice and guidance on job opportunities and the NHS recruitment process to help you do the following:
- identify NHSScotland boards you could work for
- research careers
- search for vacancies
- find resources to help you submit an application
We also hold events and work with a range of partners to help service leavers like you better understand the NHS as an employer.
