Role

About the GMC

We work with doctors, physician associates (PAs), anaesthesia associates (AAs), those they care for and other stakeholders to support good, safe patient care across the UK. We set the standards doctors, PAs, AAs and their educators need to meet, and help them achieve them. If there are concerns these standards may not be met or that public confidence in doctors, PAs, or AAs may be at risk, we can investigate, and take action if needed.

We have a vacancy for an Assistant Policy and External Affairs Manager for Scotland on a twelve-month fixed term contract. You’ll need an excellent understanding of stakeholder engagement and four-country working and be able to quickly develop a good understanding of our internal and external stakeholders.

We'll need you to provide management of an Officer in the policy and external affairs function in a busy external environment in Scotland, to support the Manager in organising the team's work effectively, and to work collaboratively across teams within the GMC in a complex and busy schedule.

This is a hybrid role, and we will agree attendance at the Edinburgh office with the successful candidate. There may be some requirement to attend meetings and events at other GMC offices, or for other travel from time to time, to be agreed with the Head of Section.

We are happy to consider a range of part-time and flexible working options. Flexible working requests will be considered in line with the policy.

You can find more detail on the tasks you will undertake, and the essential skills required for the role, in the job description.
