Role

Our work at Self Directed Support Scotland is all about ensuring people can live well, and are able to have as much choice, control and flexibility as they wish when it comes to any support they need.

Our focus is on improving the implementation of Self-directed Support (SDS) in Scotland. We do this by working collaboratively across the social care sector: with Scottish Government, Local Authorities and third sector organisations. We promote the values and principles of SDS and deliver a range of projects aimed at improving understanding of (and access to) Self-directed Support. This is an exciting time to join our team as we work to implement the national SDS Improvement Plan and Personal Assistants Programme board workplan.

We're looking for an Office Manager who can lead in all aspects of organisational administration and support our team across a range of projects and deliverables.

This position, offered on a full-time basis, will focus on providing and managing a dependable office in support of SDSS activities, stakeholders and the team.

To do this effectively, you will be a confident communicator, have a good command of office systems and be dependable and systematic in delivery. Being able to build good relationships with a range of stakeholders, and a capacity for understanding the challenges faced by people accessing social care is highly desirable.

Essential to the role are initiative, organisational skills, office administration experience, HR experience, excellent IT skills, and very importantly the ability to manage a wide range of confidential information appropriately. This role is offered at a managerial level due to its responsibility and autonomy, but it is not expected that there would be any reports.

The role can be office based in Edinburgh or remotely, with occasional national travel for events. Confidence to use CRM/database software, social media and website CMS software is highly desirable.
