Scottish Government employees who reside outwith Scotland: FOI release
Information requested
The number of Scottish Government employees who reside outwith Scotland and break this figure down by country of residence.
Response
We are providing this information as at June 2024 using data from the most recent official publication of the Scottish Government's workforce statistics. As at June 2024 there are 181 members of staff who reside outwith Scotland which includes staff who reside overseas because they work at an overseas Scottish Government office, or are in off-shore Marine seafaring roles (where it is a feature of that labour market for the workforce to be resident in a range of different countries). This information has been compiled with reference to address information held on our HR systems as at June 2024. It is therefore a snapshot as at that date and does not, for example, reflect where individuals may have since relocated to Scotland following their appointment to the Scottish Government.
List of countries and number of staff in each are:
Country of residence Number of staff England 135 Wales 3 Northern Ireland 14 America 2 Canada 2 Belgium 10 Denmark 2 Republic of Ireland 3 France 2 Germany 2 Poland 4 Pakistan 1 China 1
