Edinburgh
Full time: 35 hours per week
With a worldwide reputation for educational excellence the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh exists to promote the highest standards of patient care. One of the ways we do this is by our programme of education to support doctors who are pursuing a career in specialist internal medicine. A vacancy has arisen for an Events and Administrative Co-ordinator to join the RCPE Education team.
We are looking for a helpful and efficient co-ordinator; a meticulous planner who enjoys providing a high standard of customer service and who ‘goes the extra mile’ to exceed internal and external customer expectations. Along with four Education Co-ordinators, the successful candidate will be responsible for delivering a range of educational events and content for our online education programme. An early task will be the establishment of a new Training Committee, which this post will provide secretariat services for.

Excellent communication skills are required together with meticulous attention to detail and the ability to store and recall data accurately. Along with excellent IT skills, the successful candidate will demonstrate substantial general administrative experience, including work both within a team and independently.
