An exciting development opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual to join the Infection Prevention (IP) team primarily as an Administrator with some Senior Healthcare Support Work.

This is a unique opening for an experienced Administrator who is seeking to add some clinical infection prevention knowledge to their skillset. The role of the IP service is to work collaboratively across NHS Orkney to promote and facilitate infection prevention processes. This involves working with both clinical and non-clinical services.

Working as an integral member of the Infection Prevention team, the successful applicant will primarily support the team for administration duties and assist programmes of surveillance and audit, to allow the team to monitor performance and compliance of infection prevention across NHS Orkney.

Excellent organisational and communication skills are essential, as is the ability to pay close attention to detail. Experience of working within the NHS or similar public sector organisation is not essential for this role but would be desirable.

For further information please contact Catherine Edwards, Infection Prevention Nurse Specialist or Kelly Laing-Herridge, Infection Prevention Nurse by email catherine.edwards@nhs.scot or kelly.laing-herridge@nhs.scot.
