West of Scotland Placements

From the largest Board in the West, Greater Glasgow & Clyde, with its central position and a portfolio of historic facilities, to our Health and Social Care Partnerships, provide various levels of challenge and learning on a large scale.  

We also have our Specialist Board sites such as the Golden Jubilee and the State Hospital. These are individual entities held as best in class in their respective specialities, with tremendous facilities and the chance to work in different environments. We also have our fantastic Boards in Dumfries and Galloway, Ayrshire and Arran, and Forth Valley. These Boards offer fantastic exposure to our rural regions within the West, each with their own unique sense of community and a variety of approaches specific to the Region and challenges faced. These Boards have a real legacy of success within the Management Training Scheme with previous graduates flourishing in the Boards.  

Succession Planning is a real focus within our Boards in the West with dedicated plans and development for our managers and future Leaders to ensure they are vacancy ready. Each trainee would have access to a personalised and tailored plan, relevant to their experience and training needs as part of succession planning in the West which includes our Learning and Education offerings.
