We are seeking a proactive and visionary individual to join NHS Tayside’s Pharmacy Service as an Admin Team Lead/Project Support Officer. This pivotal role offers the opportunity to lead and deliver a full and comprehensive range of project support services, contributing directly to the strategic goals of the service. The successful candidate will demonstrate highly developed interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to plan, direct, and implement a variety of project support functions. You will be responsible for organising and scheduling key committees, managing high-impact projects, and supporting service-wide initiatives. Previous experience at this level would be highly advantageous.
In addition to project management, you will provide flexible and efficient secretarial and administrative support to senior managers, ensuring a smooth and effective service. Acting as the first point of contact for enquiries, you’ll be confident in working independently, making decisions, and resolving day-to-day issues with minimal supervision. You will play a key role in project planning and will take ownership of developing administrative policies and protocols in collaboration with stakeholders across the service.
A core aspect of the role involves driving service improvement work, applying recognised improvement methodologies to operational changes, and promoting innovation. You will use appropriate data measurement tools to demonstrate the impact of these improvements, presenting findings in a professional format suitable for senior partners and organisations across NHS Tayside.
Strong IT capabilities are essential, including proficiency in Staffnet, Excel, MS Teams, and web-based platforms. You will support the expanding PONMAG, Education and Training Team, contribute to the development of the Paediatric Formulary, and provide committee support across the wider Pharmacy Teams.
