An opportunity has arisen for a motivated candidate to undertake the role of Deputy Contracts Manager for Primary Care Services. This is an exciting opportunity for a person who would thrive in a varied and vital role and is looking to add to their administrative skill set, the successful candidate will be responsible for the management of various high level administrative processes and work with colleagues and a range of professions across the Primary Care sector.

The post holder has responsibility for the effective management of the administration elements of Primary Care Contracts with an initial key focus on GMS and the opportunity to develop in other contractor areas thus expanding the post holders network and skill set.

As the Primary Care landscape continues to develop in response to changing population requirements, there are a number of ongoing additional opportunities to develop your skillset within the Primary Care Administrative environment. This role offers the possibility of skills development in a fast moving and engaging area, with exposure to managerial and clinical professionals across the organisation giving the further prospect of networking.

General administrative skills are an important requirement for this role, with a good eye for detail and processing issues in particular in relation to payment matters. Exposure to the different levels of meetings is an excellent opportunity for someone who wishes to understand more about the Primary Care environment and the governance structures that give way to an effective and efficient service.

This is a truly excellent chance for the right candidate to bring their innovative skill set along with an enthusiasm and sound ability for carrying out administrative tasks. 

We are particularly keen for candidates with Primary Care experience to apply for this role, however candidates who can demonstrate relevant experience in another area are also strongly encouraged to apply.

We are keen to ensure that candidates can balance work and life commitments and therefore there is flexibility in how the hours can be applied across the week in line with service requirements.

The duties of this post require the successful candidate to complete a Standard Police Act Disclosure Scotland Check.
