A vacancy has arisen for a part-time Band 3 Medical Secretary at CAMHS, NHS Lothian.
Please note: As this post is part-time, the salary will be pro-rata.
We are looking for an individual who is motivated, enthusiastic, with the ability to work well under pressure and to tight deadlines. Excellent organisational skills are required.
You will support the generic functions and duties of the wider administrative team providing a high-quality secretarial service to patients/families and the multidisciplinary sector team and other users of the Service.
You will be expected to communicate effectively with patients/families, clinicians, professionals, and other administration staff.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
It is essential applicants possess secretarial/administration experience within NHS or a similar environment. You will have the ability to work on your own initiative as well as part of a team.
The post is based at CAMHS Melville Unit at Royal Hospital for Children and Young People. As CAMHS Tier 4 is based across two sites, on occasion for cover purposes you will be required to work from CAMHS Tipperlinn, Royal Edinburgh Hospital.

AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can be great for planning and preparing your application, but your answers must be your own.
Show us the real you: Your application should reflect your skills, experience, and motivations authentically.
Use AI wisely: It’s fine to use AI for ideas or to check spelling and grammar, but don’t let it write your answers.
Why this matters: Applications that rely on AI-generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm your responses are based on your own knowledge and achievements.
Tip: Think of AI as a helper, not a substitute. We want to understand you, not an AI tool.
