Job Advert

The Marketing and Communications team within NHS National Services Scotland is transforming. We’re changing the way we work to better meet the needs of those who use our service. To help us with this redesign of our service, we are looking for an Operations Manager; someone who can bring our service users along with us as we change, oversee the implementation of new tools and practices which will make us more efficient, and manage a small team. This is a fixed term contract for 12 months, aligned to the timeframe of our transformation.

Key to our redesign will be working with our stakeholders and the users of our service to raise awareness of the new ways to engage with the team, and to support the launch of self-service marketing and communications tools. To be successful in the role, you will need to be a good listener who can quickly digest complex information, someone who can suggest innovative solutions to problems, and be able to work well under pressure. 

This role is part of the Senior Management Team within Marketing and Communications, and you’ll have the opportunity to influence at all levels of the organisation, so you’ll need excellent communication and negotiation skills. You will also have line management responsibility for team members across the Marketing and Communications function, so experience of managing staff through change would be an advantage. 

We are looking for a proven relationship builder with extensive communications experience to champion communications across the organisation. If this is you, we’d love to hear from you.

Our benefits package includes pension scheme, comprehensive range of work life balance policies, occupational health services, learning resource centres and discounted leisure, financial and shopping benefits.
