NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.

There are two fulltime, permanent posts of 37 hours per week, with a shift pattern of Mon-Thur (0800-1600), Fri (0800-1530).

The applicants MUST be a time served electrician, having completed a recognized electrical apprenticeship, hold an IET 18th Ed Wiring Regs qualification, qualified to SVQ/HNC level (or currently working towards this qualification), with a minimum of 5 years post apprenticeship experience, ideally including a degree of experience working within a healthcare environment.

Please ensure you read the Person Specification for this post and you are qualified to apply. Applicants who do not meet the essential criteria will NOT be considered.

While the primary role of the post holder(s) will be to carry out electrical tasks, they will be part of a multi-skilled technical team and will be responsible for the delivery of specialist technical services for a wide range of duties in relation to all disciplines of building services, including, but not limited to, plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical systems. It is essential that the post holder accepts a wide range of cross trade duties so as to deliver a high standard of service. All cross discipline training will be provided as required.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.
