As part of a small team within the wider People & Culture Team, we are looking for a Senior Clerical Assistant to assist with processing supply worker requests, Disclosure Scotland checks and medical referrals of new and existing employees.

This role is vital to the organisation to ensure that our employees have the appropriate level of safeguarding in place when providing services to the people in the Perth & Kinross area.

You will be responsible for sending the appropriate Disclosure requests to new and existing employees, updating and maintaining PVG and Disclosure spreadsheets, assisting with pre-employment checks and adding new supply workers to the Supply Portal and processing any medical referrals within the occupational health system (OHIO).

Skills & Experience Required

You will have previous customer service experience, with good communication skills and be comfortable communicating with employees and managers at all levels within the Council.

You must be able to plan and organise your work, whilst ensuring that you work as part of a team.

Ideally you will have knowledge of the PVG Scheme and Disclosure Scotland checks and be familiar with Supply worker agreements.
