You will play a crucial part in helping NHS Western Isles meet NHS Scotland’s commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to achieve net‑zero emissions from its supply chain across all NHS Boards. You will be actively involved in collecting, interpreting, and presenting sustainability data, and will demonstrate a clear understanding of the relevant policies, legislation, and guidance. Your input will drive the NHS Western Isles sustainability agenda across the Islands. You will have strong report‑writing skills and the ability to provide recommendations and direction to others where appropriate.
