This vacancy is only open to applicants currently working with NHS Scotland.
On 1 April 2026, NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) and NHS Education for Scotland (NES) became one national organisation, focused on continuity today and a stronger, more connected service for tomorrow.
As part of this transformation, NSS and NES have joined to form a new organisation: Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSD Scotland). This new organisation will play a pivotal role in supporting the renewal and ensuring the long-term sustainability of health and care services across Scotland.
About The Organisation
PSD Scotland unites expertise from NES and NSS in a way that will allow us to accelerate national programmes to support the NHS to deliver better care, now and in the future.
We support staff with education and training, provide the tools and data that improve services, and run vital national functions such as procurement, logistics and blood, tissue and cell services.
NHS Scotland Assure’s core purpose is to deliver and co-ordinate a diverse range of effective expert advice and support services in relation to national infection prevention control, construction, equipping and technical matters which support and improve health and well-being services. Formed in 2021 it encompasses the previous services delivered by Health Facilities Scotland (HFS) and ARHAI Scotland, supplementing these with an integrated approach to improving quality in the healthcare environment and recognised as the Centre of Expertise across all related disciplines.
The Post
As part of the continued development of NHSS Assure, we are looking for a Project Manager to join us. This role will support the delivery of an effective management and control mechanism for creation, approval and delivery of operational projects including Key Stage Assurance Reviews (KSARs) across NHS Scotland Assure. The PMO supports the wider NHS Scotland Assure services as part of a multi-disciplinary team, collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders across NHS Scotland and the independent sector, to deliver services designed to ensure patient safety within the healthcare-built environment.
