To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
Two exciting opportunities have arisen for individuals who are looking for a challenging and rewarding role working within quality improvement, attached to two programmes of work.
Post 1: Improvement Advisor: Programme for Quality Fixed Term/Secondment for 23 Months

The roles will be positioned to support delivery of improvements in systems of care in Tayside, as well as delivering training and education in quality improvement.

The post holders will have established improvement skills and excellent interpersonal skills to coach individuals and teams in their quality improvement efforts. The post holders will be comfortable collecting and analysing data for improvement with minimal supervision and will be able to produce clear high quality written reports.
Candidates will be considered who hold a first degree in a relevant discipline and either a formal professional qualification or equivalent experience in the field of quality improvement. Ideally applicants will have experience of applying quality improvement techniques within a healthcare setting.

Short-listed applicants will be contacted by email. Please check your emails regularly, including your junk/spam folder.
