Working as part of a multidisciplinary team you will have operational management responsibility for a portfolio that includes our Theatres Service, Intensive Care Unit, Radiology and Diagnostic Services.

There are many examples of excellence and endeavour by staff across our organisation, from front line doctors and nurses to support staff, technicians and managers. The NHS doesn’t stand still. The demand on our Health Care System is increasing as our population ages, and people rightly expect the high levels of service and care from the NHS. Meeting demand and realising the potential for improving services requires hard work, dedication and innovation on the part of all staff.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period, for which you would be paid, until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Hiring Manager.
