It is SHG’s policy to encourage mobility within the public service, with the majority of vacancies being advertised internally. However, when and where suitable candidates for particular posts are not identified or forthcoming from within the service, then such positions are advertised more widely. All vacancies for external recruitment can be found on this page along with a copy of SHG’s application form.
