The Office of the Patient Safety Commissioner for Scotland plays a vital role in strengthening the safety and quality of healthcare across the nation.

This role leads the delivery of corporate services and operational management across finance, audit, governance, ICT, office management and information governance, ensuring robust systems, controls and value for money. Working closely with the Executive Director, the postholder supports business and strategic planning, risk management, reporting and parliamentary outputs, while providing high quality secretariat support to the Patient Safety Commissioner. The role also drives continuous improvement through project and change management to enhance organisational effectiveness.
To be successful in this role, you will have experience of leading and managing corporate services, with the ability to operate confidently and manage relationships with a variety of internal and external stakeholders, providing clear, authoritative advice. You will have excellent administrative, organisational and analytical skills, alongside a strong understanding of governance, risk, and public sector accountability. It would be beneficial if you have an awareness and understanding of the Scottish Parliament systems, the NHS and patient safety landscape.
Recruitment for the Patient Safety Commissioner is being managed by the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman’s office.

Each year we deliver over 1,000 hours of individual support to help Edinburgh’s young people feel better. We’re currently hiring for a Mental Health Coach to join our Service Delivery team.
About the role
We are recruiting for an additional Mental Health Coach to join our team to help us meet demand. The coach will provide 1:1 support for young people, as well as supporting our groupwork and drop-in programmes. Our Mental Health Coaching is person centered, strengths based and incorporates counselling, coaching and youth work approaches. The aim of all our support services is to help young people to have improved mental health and to feel better. Through mental health coaching we help the young people to learn techniques to manage their wellbeing and work closely with community partners to provide a holistic service.
