Appointments Co-ordinator

As a member of our team at NHS Borders, you will have the opportunity to embody our core values in your everyday work. Our values include Care and Compassion, Quality and Teamwork, Dignity and Respect, as well as Openness, honesty, and responsibility. This role is a full-time position for 37 hours a week, with the ideal working hours being between 09:00 and 17:00, Monday to Friday. While the start and finish times are negotiable, it is essential to ensure coverage each weekday. We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join our Outpatient Central Booking team. The ideal candidate will have previous experience in a healthcare environment, possess excellent interpersonal skills, and be proficient in computer literacy. Additionally, the candidate should be able to work effectively as part of a team and oversee the day-to-day management and supervision of the booking team. As part of the role, there is a requirement to provide cross-cover for administrative colleagues during their periods of leave. The closing date for completed application forms is two weeks after the posting date. To be eligible to work in the United Kingdom, it is a legal requirement for individuals to demonstrate their permission to work in the country. This permission is granted by the UK Visa and Immigration Service and will be checked as part of the pre-employment process by NHS Scotland Boards. If you do not have the necessary eligibility to work in the UK, there may be a possibility to secure sponsorship via a UK Skilled Worker/Health & Care Worker Visa. However, this is only possible if the employer is a licensed sponsor and if the post meets the current minimum salary threshold or going rate criteria. Further information on sponsorship criteria can be found on the GOV.UK website. It is crucial to ensure that you have the appropriate right to work in the UK or that the post is eligible for sponsorship before submitting your application form. Late applications will not be accepted. NHS Scotland is dedicated to promoting equality and diversity within our workforce and eliminating discrimination. We welcome applications from all sections of society to ensure our workforce is truly representative, and every employee feels respected and empowered to perform at their best.,
