About The Organisation
Public Health Scotland launched 1st April 2020 as a national health board, employing around 1200 people, and with an annual budget of around £101 million. Public Health Scotland wants to see a Scotland where everybody thrives, a Scotland where life expectancy improves and the difference in life expectancy between our poorest and wealthiest areas gets smaller.
Public Health Scotland is Scotland’s lead national agency for improving and protecting the health and wellbeing of all of Scotland’s people. Our vision is of a Scotland where everybody thrives. Our focus is on increasing healthy life expectancy and reducing premature mortality. To do this, we use data, intelligence and a place-based approach to lead and deliver Scotland’s public health priorities.
The posts are within the Clinical and Protecting Health Directorate, which protects the people of Scotland from infectious and environmental hazards. The Directorate provides high-quality clinical advice and maintains public health knowledge.
The Post
An exciting opportunity has arisen within Public Health Scotland’s Clinical and Protecting Health Directorate for two Project Coordinators. One post is based within the Public Health Microbiology Service Delivery Team and is available on a 12-month fixed term or secondment basis. The other post is based within the MAT Standards Implementation Team (MIST) and is available until 31 March 2028.
Responsibilities
You will play a key role in supporting the planning, management and delivery of our work programmes. Your responsibilities will include:
assisting in the coordination of project tasks, maintaining documentation, tracking progress, and providing administrative support to ensure smooth project delivery.
The Project Coordinator will provide administrative and project support across various programmes and projects and will assist in tracking progress, managing documents, report coordination/generation and coordinating meetings and activities.
The Candidate
Proficiency in standard office software (e.g., Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, MS Teams, SharePoint) is required to support hybrid working.
We are seeking a candidate with strong organisational skills with attention to detail and developed written and verbal communication skills.
If you choose to use artificial intelligence (AI) or other tools to assist in writing your application, it's essential to personalise this information, particularly your supporting information section. While AI can help streamline the writing process, these tools cannot fully grasp the context or requirements of the job you’re applying for. By submitting your application, you confirm that all answers are your own work, reflect your personal knowledge, skills and experience, and have not been solely produced by AI or similar technologies.
Location and Working Pattern:
The post is based in either Gyle Square, Edinburgh or Bothwell Street, Glasgow. We are currently hybrid working; therefore, you will be expected to spend time in both PHS offices as well as the option to work at home.
There will be an expectation to travel to local areas for some meetings and events.
The work pattern for this post is Monday to Friday, 36 hours per week.
PHS is a flexible employer, and we are happy to discuss requests for alternative working patterns.
During times of public health emergency, or other urgent business need, you may be required on a temporary basis to work your normal contracted working hours over 7 days including weekends, in order to meet the needs of the service.
It is a condition of this employment that you must live and remain a resident within the UK for the post in which you will be employed with PHS.
