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.

This is a busy office providing admin support to all the Podiatry clinicians within South & mid Operational unit (as well as liaising with some Podiatrists within North & West Operational unit).

A minimum of 1-2 years secretarial experience and some experience of a health service environment would be an advantage. The main system used for booking patient appointments is TrakCare PMS and while some familiarity with this system would be helpful we are committed to provide support and training to any new start.

You should be educated to standard grade or equivalent (including English). 

You will be able to demonstrate excellent computer skills including Microsoft office applications. 

Of greatest importance is an ability to demonstrate good interpersonal and communication skills, along with the ability to prioritise, plan and organise your workload.

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.
