An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and organised individual to join the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) as a Medical Secretary. This post will be based at Links Unit, City Hospital, Aberdeen.
CAMHS is a very busy service, and we are looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in delivering high‑quality administrative support.
