Who we are: We are Child Health Information Systems, also known as 'CHIS'.
We maintain administration systems that provide a record for individual children and support a variety of related programmes; screening, immunisations and outcomes of the 0-5 child health reviews.
Although we are mainly office based, a large part of our role also includes attending schools across Lothian to support school immunisation programmes, which run from September to June every year.
Position An opportunity has arisen for an Administration Team Leader, based in central Edinburgh.
What you will do You will line manage a team of 17 administrators, while providing support to the wider clinical team.
You will work alongside two other Team Leaders and the systems coordinator covering all of Lothian, although you will be specifically responsible for the Edinburgh area.
Although you may not have experience working with or alongside CHIS, you will have some supervisory or line management experience.
Full training in our systems will be given.
Full details of the role and responsibilities can be found in the job description.
This role would be considered not suitable for hybrid or home working.
Please note interviews are expected to be held in December with an earliest planned start date of Monday 24th February 2025.
Please contact Joyce MacLellan at ****** if you have any questions.

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 Recruiting Board.
We will fully support disabled candidates, and candidates with long-term conditions or who are neurodivergent by making reasonable adjustments to our recruitment policy and practices.
**Please note: we anticipate a high level of interest in this position and may close the vacancy early once a sufficient amount of applications are received.

If the post holder is not a current PVG member for the required regulatory group (i.e.
child and/or adult) then an application will need to be made to Disclosure Scotland and deemed satisfactory before they can begin in post.
