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.
NHS Scotland Academy, Learning and Innovation is a recently formed (2023) directorate within NES to support the development of learning and innovation within the organisation which will have system-wide impact on the development of the health and social care workforce.
The Opportunity:
Do you want to help educators, clinical staff and the social care sector in accessing evidence to support the quality and delivery of health and social care in Scotland?
Do you want to play a key role in supporting evidence-based practice and knowledge management?
Do you enjoy supporting users in accessing eResources and liaising with suppliers to ensure seamless access and best value for money for NHS Scotland subscriptions?
Do you enjoy working at pace and being adaptive to an ever-changing environment?
Working within the Knowledge Management and Discovery (KM & D) team you will have the opportunity to work with a variety of library management and discovery services (Alma Primo), OpenAthens authentication system and information provider platforms to support the health and social care workforce in accessing evidence for practice and learning.
What We Love to See:
1. Ability to collaboratively work with different teams to provide access to high quality evidence sources
2. Highly experienced in using a variety of technologies and software
3. Ability to confidently lead and facilitate conversations to understand key requirements
4. Ability to work on own initiative and to work closely with colleagues in small team, to organise and prioritise workload and to meet strict deadlines
5. Proven experience as a problem solver
Benefits Which Matter:
As a valued employee of NHS Scotland, you can enjoy an extensive range of benefits including:
1. Life-work balance - with opportunities for flexible working and hybrid working
2. Annual incremental salary progression (up to the maximum of the salary band) plus annual NHS salary scale review
3. Annual Leave - 27 Days increasing in line with service plus 8 days public holiday
4. NHS discounts and more
Diversity and Inclusion:
Developing a successful national service for Scotland is impossible without ensuring we consider the diverse needs, perspectives, and backgrounds of everyone in Scotland in our work.
It’s not essential to be in a Senior Analyst role right now. You may be returning from a career break (e.g. maternity, paternity, caring for others) or returning after working in 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 Robert Allanson at.
Next Steps:
NHS candidates will be considered firstly on a secondment basis, and so are strongly encouraged to discuss this with their current NHS employer at the earliest opportunity, ideally prior to application.
Our recruitment process is currently 100% remote and if successful you would initially work remotely, working from our offices as operationally required.
All applicants who are shortlisted for interview will be contacted by e-mail.
Online interviews will take place on Monday 29 and Tuesday 30 July 2024.
