Medical Education Administrator; LW

Overview

If you thrive in a busy environment and enjoy meeting a wide range of NHS Fife staff, we’d love to hear from you. The Education is the hub of medical training and education for NHS Fife, working with all levels from medical student to resident doctor to consultant, providing a warm and supportive learning environment.

As our administrator, you will play a critical role in the effective running of our department. You will be the first point of contact for medical students and resident doctors on placement in the hospital, and also for technical support in the classrooms in the Education Centre.

If you have good communication skills, time-management skills and technical skills, we want to hear from you. We expect you to deliver and promote good quality service to our Education Centre users and that they receive a professional, friendly welcome and have responses dealt with proficiently.

• Act as the first point of contact for the Education Centre and provide administrative and reception support to the department.
• Deliver and promote high-quality service to Education Centre users, ensuring a professional and friendly welcome and timely responses.
• Support technical needs in classrooms and coordinate with staff to facilitate learning activities.

• The ability to deliver written and verbal communication in a clear and concise manner.
• The flexibility to manage a combined role, providing admin/reception services to the department while also delivering secretarial services to our Senior Leadership Team, often to a tight deadline.
• Excellent computer skills in Microsoft 365 and a high level of accuracy in typing and data input.
• The confidence to manage your own workload against the competing demands and distractions of a busy reception area.

If so, we welcome informal enquiries and look forward to receiving your application. For informal enquiries, please contact Ann Sheach, Education Centre Manager, NHS Fife Medical Education Services. Email: ann.sheach2t
