FIXED TERM CONTRACT FOR 12 MONTHS
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Primary & Community Services as premises support manager.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual who can work flexibly to support the development, implementation and monitoring of effective processes for P&CS premises programme.
The premises support manager will coordinate key administrative activities, including managing all enquiries from building users for clinical rooms, offices, equipment, furniture and IT.
The premises support manager will be responsible for maintaining building floor plans and the accurate recording, production and distribution of data and information used for management and decision making by P&CS Premises Group. The post holder will support with documenting, reviewing and managing risks.
This is a busy role, requiring the support manager to work with a range of stakeholders at all levels including NHS Borders staff, GP practices, suppliers and contractors.
Experience, understanding or an interest in property, facilities and/or premises management would be beneficial but is not essential.
P&CS staff are based on more than 30 sites across the Borders, therefore a full, clean driving license is essential to enable the post holder to travel between sites. The support manager will spend some time working at a desk and some time out in the community.
A working knowledge of Microsoft Office, including Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint, is required for this role.
Due to legislative changes from 1 April 2025, this post may require a different level of criminal records check done than is currently the case. If the post is assessed as a "regulated role", your appointment will be subject to joining the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme. If there is any change to what is currently required, this will be confirmed by either the Hiring Manager or the Recruitment Team. For more details on these changes please visit: .
To work in the United Kingdom, there is a legal requirement for an individual to demonstrate that they have the relevant permission to work in the country. This permission is, without exception, granted by the UK Visa and Immigrations Service.
As part of the pre-employment checks for a preferred candidate, NHS Scotland Boards will check your entitlement to work in the UK. It can be evidenced through a number of routes including specific types of visa as well as EU settled and pre-settled status. To find out more about these routes of permission, please refer to the GOV.UK website .
For specific types of post, if you do not have the necessary eligibility to work in the UK, it might be possible (though not guaranteed) to secure sponsorship via a UK Skilled Worker/Health & Care Worker Visa. However, this is only possible if the employer is a licenced Sponsor, and if the post does not fall below the current minimum salary threshold or ‘going rate’. Further information on these criteria can be found .
It is ESSENTIAL that you have checked that you either already have an appropriate right to work in the UK or that the post would be eligible to be sponsored BEFORE submitting your application form
