You will also be comfortable working directly with senior colleagues. This means communicating clearly, being reliable and professional, exercising sound judgement and knowing when you don’t have the answer, need to seek advice or raise an issue.

You Will Bring

• Excellent organisational and coordination skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Discretion and an understanding of the importance of confidentiality.
• Initiative and the ability to work independently within agreed priorities.
• Accuracy, attention to detail and a conscientious approach.
• Confidence and credibility when dealing with senior colleagues.
• The ability to build trusted working relationships across organisational boundaries.
• Sound judgement, diplomacy and sensitivity to different perspectives.
• The ability to manage several priorities and adapt when circumstances change.
• A collaborative approach and a willingness to help the wider team succeed.

You should have experience of supporting senior meetings, governance arrangements, projects, policy work or another relevant coordination role, ideally in health and social care or a similarly complex environment.

Experience of NHS Scotland would be helpful, but just as important is the ability to learn quickly, ask sensible questions and work effectively with a wide range of people.
