The Medical Secretarial Service have vacancies for 2 fulltime permanent Relief Medical Secretaries (36 hours per week) to support our Acute Services within Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, Woodend General Hospital and Royal Aberdeen Childrens Hospital. These posts are to provide support for all types of absences within our remit and to support teams during very busy periods. This exciting opportunity would be ideal for an experienced secretary or medical secretary looking to expand on their secretarial/administrative knowledge or move into the medical secretarial/administrative sector.

The post holder will work alongside the Medical Secretaries across our services to provide secretarial and administrative support to our teams. Being a Relief Medical Secretary is a very busy but rewarding post that involves a variety of tasks.

Days of work would be Monday to Friday and hours can be worked between 0800 and 1800.

The ideal candidate should have previous secretarial or PA experiences with excellent interpersonal and organisational skills.

The Medical Secretarial Service provides secretarial and administrative support to our medical, surgical and clinical teams across the acute sector of NHS Grampian. The team consists of Medical Secretaries, Audio Typists, Administrators, Filing Clerks, Trainers, PAs and the Management Team.

There are opportunities for expansion and progression within the Medical Secretarial Service, including expanding your knowledge in various medical, surgical and clinical services or over time developing into supervisory, training or management roles.

We are focused on hiring the very best talent available and actively encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds and aim to ensure everyone is treated fairly, with respect and has a positive recruitment experience regardless of the outcome.

It is not essential to be in a Medical Secretarial role right now, though secretarial experience is a must. You may be returning from a career break (eg maternity, paternity, caring for others) or considering a move from working in another field. Your experiences elsewhere can bring a fresh perspective to our work.

This post may close early due to volume of applicants.
