Closing date: Midnight 15 April 2025
Location: Hybrid (Office is based in central Edinburgh)
Pattern: Full time role is 35 hours per week. We accept flexible working requests from day 1 and are happy to discuss flexible working patterns, these must suit both us as an organisation and yourself. This role requires the post holder to work a Monday.
About the Role
We're looking for a Project Coordinator to join the team at the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission, which helps resolve issues raised by the public about work carried out by Scottish lawyers.
You'll provide support to the Senior Management Team (SMT) to manage the project coordination activity to assist the implementation of new legislation governing the functions of the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission. This legislation will help us modernise some aspects of our functions and also bring new roles and responsibilities to the organisation.
Responsibilities
1. Prepare and manage individual project plans and help ensure an overview of all the implementation work is maintained and monitored.
2. Work directly with the senior leadership team on projects and support information gathering, consultation, and policy development work.
3. Report on project progress to both SMT and SLCC Board.
4. Be involved in project meetings, including scheduling, preparing agendas, minutes, and action logs.
5. Support the team to deliver a high level of customer service to both members of the public and members of the profession.
About You
You will thrive on change and improvement: the culture of the SLCC is one of continual improvement and this results in a pattern of change and progress: not change for change's sake - but measured collaborative improvement.
You will have experience in business change or transformation and complex project management, but we don't have a fixed idea of where you will have gained that experience. People from very different backgrounds have excelled in these roles, and we want you to have the chance to explain to us how you might help us deliver our role.
You can work from any UK location for most of the time, all we require is that you attend the office, which is based in Edinburgh, a minimum of one third of your working days a quarter and there will be some specific events that you need to attend in person. Please note induction will include more office days in the beginning to help you settle into SLCC, learn about the role and to provide the most support.
Benefits
You will also have 42 days paid holiday, including public holidays (pro-rata for less than 35 hours a week). We also offer a Group Self Invested Personal Pension, company sick pay scheme, life assurance, cycle to work scheme, travel loan scheme, volunteer days, and a confidential employee assistance programme offering free advice and support across a range of work and personal issues.
We also pride ourselves on being an enjoyable place to work, with a supportive environment, opportunities for self-development, staff charity events and the opportunity to socialise. We have a staff led Wellbeing and Inclusion Group. In our last staff survey, 85% of colleagues said they would recommend the SLCC to friends as a place to work, and 97% said we were a fair place to work.

To apply for this role, please submit your CV and a cover letter (one page maximum) that details your interest in the role, your project management experience, tools or approaches you have used to track and report on projects and any other skills you have that may be relevant to this role by 5pm on 15 April 2025. Interviews for this post will take place in person and will be held on 12 and 13 May; if you have a preferred date, please let us know when you submit your CV and cover letter.
