International Recruitment - FOI Response Register

1. The total number of staff recruited internationally during the 2023/2024 period.

Within 23/24 financial year = 4

2. The name(s) of the international recruitment agency/agencies used for this purpose.

Apart from directly recruited International staff, we work collaboratively with The North of Scotland (NoS) International Recruitment (IR) Service, hosted by NHS Grampian to recruit mainly IR Nurses and AHP Staffing, so no agency involved

3. The contact details (name, email, phone) of the lead or person responsible for international recruitment within your organisation.

For NHS Shetland - Lorraine Allinson

For NoS IR Hub - Sarah Dalgarno

4. The anticipated international recruitment numbers for the next 12 months

A further 4 IR Nurses have been recruited since Apr 2024. Anything further is dependent upon vacancies that crop up and the inability to fill these within the UK
