Who We Are

NHS Education for Scotland (NES) is the national health board with statutory responsibilities to effect sustainable change through workforce development, education and training across the health and social care system in Scotland, while working at UK level with partner organisations.

The Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professionals (NMAHP) directorate supports education, training and continuing professional development of nurses, midwives, allied health professionals, health and social care chaplains and healthcare support workers. The directorate also provides education, training and workforce development across wider professional groups and disciplines, often in partnership with other organisations to support key policy drivers.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and self-motivated individual to join our small, but highly talented Infection Prevention and Control Education workstream. Within the business support unit you will be a team player, able to prioritise and possess excellent organisational, communication and digital skills.

Do you enjoy working at pace and being adaptive to an ever-changing environment?

Do you enjoy working with a wide range of stakeholders and across a multidisciplinary team?

Do you want to support colleagues in the Directorate and across the organisation, sharing information and expertise where appropriate, and offering advice and support?

Do you enjoy problem solving and collaborating with others?

Do you have transferable skills in administration and digital tools?

Working within the business support team you will have the opportunity to bring your unique skills and experience to the table, collaborating across multiple workstreams to support the NMAP Directorate and the wider NES.

Developing a successful national service for Scotland requires consideration of diverse needs, perspectives and backgrounds of everyone in Scotland in our work. We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds and aim to ensure everyone is treated fairly, with respect and has a positive recruitment experience – regardless of the outcome.

It’s not essential to be in an Admin Officer role right now. You may be returning from a career break or from another field. Your experiences elsewhere can bring a fresh perspective to our work.

If you are considering applying and feel it would be helpful to discuss this initially, please contact Allison Brown, Senior Admin Officer, Email: allison.brown@nhs.scot

NHS candidates will be considered firstly on a secondment basis, and should discuss this with their current NHS employer at the earliest opportunity, ideally prior to application.

All applicants who are shortlisted for interview will be contacted by e-mail.

In person OR online interviews will take place on 20 October 2025.

To work in the United Kingdom, there is a legal requirement for an individual to demonstrate that they have the relevant permission to work in the country. This permission is granted by the UK Visas and Immigration Service.

As part of the pre-employment checks, NHS Scotland Boards will check your entitlement to work in the UK. It can be evidenced through several routes including specific types of visa as well as EU settled and pre-settled status. Further information on these criteria can be found here.

For some posts, if you do not have the necessary eligibility to work in the UK, sponsorship via a UK Skilled Worker/Health & Care Worker Visa might be possible, but only if the employer is a licensed Sponsor and if the post meets salary requirements. More information is available here.

It is essential that you have checked you either already have the right to work in the UK or that the post would be eligible for sponsorship before submitting your application.
