Each region has their own performer’s team that sits within one of the 14 territorial Boards. If you are new to working in Scotland and choose Dumfries and Galloway as your base, you will register your interest with the performer’s team who will send you an application to register.
The registration process involves the following Pre-employment checks:
- Right to work check
