What We Love To See
The ideal candidates should have previous medical secretarial experience with excellent interpersonal and organisational skills. In particular, we are looking for someone with fast and accurate audio typing skills.
Who we are
The Medical Secretarial Service provides secretarial and administration support to medical, surgical, and clinical teams across the acute sector of NHS Grampian. The team consists of Medical Secretaries, Audio Typists, Administrators, Filing Clerks, Receptionists, Trainers, PAs, and the Management Team.
There are opportunities for expansion and progression within the Medical Secretarial Service, including expanding your knowledge in to various other medical, surgical and clinical services, or over time, developing in to supervisory, training, or management roles.
Diversity and inclusion
We are focused on hiring the very best talent available, and actively encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds and aim to ensure everyone is treated fairly, with respect, and has a positive recruitment experience – regardless of the outcome.
It is not essential to be in a Medical Secretarial role right now. You may be returning from a career break (e.g. maternity, paternity, caring for others) or considering a move from working in another field. Your experiences elsewhere can bring a fresh perspective to our work.
