Borders Adult Community Mental Health Service

South Locality, Hawick Community Hospital, Victoria Road, Hawick

An exciting opportunity has arisen for the above post to join the Mental Health Service to support the Borders Adult Community Mental Health Service.

You will be able to work on your own initiative, learn quickly and have good communication skills. You will have a high level of computer literacy, in particular with Microsoft office packages. Some knowledge of NHS systems would be advantageous. You will be enthusiastic, reliable and willing to build relationships with both internal and external colleagues.

For further information and / or informal enquiries please contact Tracey Goodall or Mairi Buchanan on 01896 827270

Please note: the salary quoted is for full-time hours (37 hrs per week). For appointments to part-time hours, the salary will be pro-rata.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period, for which you would be paid, until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Hiring Manager.

NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
