Full-time (35 hours per week), permanent post
Salary £19,198
Queen Street, Edinburgh, EH2 1JQ
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 trained doctors and doctors in training who are pursuing a career in specialist internal medicine. A vacancy has arisen for an Administrative/Education Assistant to join the RCPE Education team.
We are looking for a polite, helpful and efficient assistant, who enjoys providing a high standard of customer service and who ‘goes the extra mile’ to exceed internal and external customer expectations. Along with another Education Assistant, the successful candidate will be responsible for processing registrations for delegates attending RCPE Education events and for providing a range of support services to assist the Department’s five Education Co-ordinators in the smooth running of events. This varied role also provides support for a number of departmental committees and project working groups.
The College is looking for an enthusiastic candidate: a self-starter with a positive attitude. 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.
This is a full-time, permanent post. Hours of work are 35 per week, normally 9am until 5pm with an hour for lunch, Monday to Friday inclusive but some early starts (7.30 or 8am) will be required on event days and later evenings (to 6 or 6.30pm) may occasionally be required. A system of flexible working is in place to accommodate this.
Informal enquiries about this post may be made to Helen Elliott, Education Assistant, by telephone on 0131 247 3639 or email at h.elliott@rcpe.ac.uk
The closing date for this post is 9am on Monday 20 July 2015. Interviews will be held on Monday 27 July.
