Full Job Description

NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

Provide daily administration support to Endocrine & Diabetic Specialist Nursing team. Deal with TRAK appointments, update information on SCI Diabetes. Answer telephone and email enquiries. Arranges nurses diary and appointments. Types and distributes minutes from meetings. Deals with queries from patient/carers, visitors and staff. Cover Unit reception as and when required. Support the DSN telephone helpline. No direct line management responsibility but provide support to other colleagues within department when necessary.

The post is employed within NHS Lothian and there may be a requirement to work flexibly across Lothian to meet service demands.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.

We will fully support disabled candidates, and candidates with long-term conditions or who are neurodivergent by making reasonable adjustments to our recruitment policy and practices.

**Please note: we anticipate a high level of interest in this position and may close the vacancy early once a sufficient amount of applications are received. Therefore, please make sure you complete and submit your application at an early stage**
