Business Support Coordinator

Edinburgh, 35 hours per week, Permanent

Salary range per annum £28,998 - £32,736*

There is more to the RCN than you might think. We’re a trade union with a membership of over half a million nurses, midwives, nursing support workers and students. We support their practice, represent them, lobby on their behalf, and develop them. We exist to make a positive difference – to the working lives of our members and ultimately to standards in patient care. Our employees are drawn from many walks of life – we are nurses, marketers and communicators, administrators, IT professionals, policy and finance experts, lawyers… together we are so much more. We couldn’t do what we do without our people.

We're accredited with Investors in People Silver Standard. Our people are our greatest asset, and we want people who can contribute to our purpose in line with our values.

As our Business Support Coordinator you’ll use your positive attitude, your knowledge of administration processes, record keeping and building management and reception duties to deliver an exceptional service to all staff and members in Scotland.

It's a job full of possibilities so you could get involved in anything from arranging couriers, receiving and sorting deliveries, meeting room and catering management as well as coordinating maintenance services within the building. It's a great way to build your knowledge of our work and develop your potential.

You will have the initiative to find new ways to manage your tasks and support your colleagues and their departments. Taking care of your customers will be your primary role, along with making sure that the building is safe, and offering an excellent service.

To join us you’ll need good written and spoken communication skills and a high level of attention to detail. You will be a strong team player with the ability to foster strong professional relationships and support close collaboration between departments.

Whatever your background, you'll be efficient, accurate and show a real customer focus in all you do.

To succeed at the Royal College of Nursing all you need to do is think bigger, better and brighter. And with an attitude like that, anything’s possible.

What we offer you

We expect you to look after your customers; colleagues, members, contractors and visitors to the building. And we expect you to be rewarded for it. We offer an impressive range of benefits, a broad range of learning development opportunities and an award-winning health and wellbeing programme. We offer annual leave up to 32 days plus bank holidays and three additional days for the Christmas break plus generous maternity, adoption, paternity, and shared parental leave packages.

*We offer a competitive pay structure with annual pay progression until you reach the top of the salary scale. We normally offer new employees the first point of the salary range, although you may be able to negotiate a higher starting salary depending on your skills, experience and current salary.

What we deliver for our members is wide and varied so when it comes to how we work one size doesn’t fit all. We also know that to empower our people to do their best work, they must be able to balance the demands of work and home. We are a diverse organisation and understand everyone has different needs and many of our employees enjoy flexible working enabling them to deliver results whilst having a good work life balance. Departments and directorates have their own hybrid ways of working which put the needs of the service they deliver – whether that’s to members or to colleagues - at their heart, in alignment with our hybrid working core principles. At the RCN it’s unlikely you will work from home for all of your working time. Equally no one is expected to work solely in the office unless your role requires it. You can find out more by having a discussion with the recruiting manager.

Part of the role is also to oversee our contracted and grant funded employability delivery - the team is currently awarding over £4m worth of contracts to third sector organisations, delivering projects ranging from support for those at risk of leaving school and not securing a positive destination, to support to those who have additional barriers such as a disability or long-term health problem to longer term support for individuals who have suffered from homelessness, involvement with criminal justice or are in recovery from substance misuse.

You will be an integral part in this network and actively contribute to the continued development of the city's employability strategy.

Leading a small team of staff, this exciting role requires someone with the knowledge, skills and experience to ensure that services contribute to our key priorities, contracts are delivered, targets are met, reports are submitted on time, and our delivery partners are proud to be part of Edinburgh’s employability landscape

From overseeing the delivery of Edinburgh Project Search and the continuous development of the Edinburgh Guarantee, through to planning services to support those with barriers to employment and managing co-production and commissioning, there will never be a dull day.

The role will be suited to someone with an existing understanding of the relevant policies, strategies and issues driving employability, who has an appetite for developing creative solutions and a passion for working in partnership.
