Assistant Policy and External Affairs Manager

About the GMC

We work with doctors, physician associates (PAs), anaesthesia associates (AAs), those they care for and other stakeholders to support good, safe patient care across the UK. We set the standards doctors, PAs, AAs and their educators need to meet, and help them achieve them. If there are concerns these standards may not be met or that public confidence in doctors, PAs, or AAs may be at risk, we can investigate, and take action if needed.

Assistant Policy and External Affairs Manager – Scotland

We have a vacancy for an Assistant Policy and External Affairs Manager for Scotland on a twelve‑month fixed‑term contract.

You’ll need an excellent understanding of stakeholder engagement and four‑country working and be able to quickly develop a good understanding of our internal and external stakeholders. You will provide management of an Officer in the policy and external affairs function in a busy external environment in Scotland, support the Manager in organising the team's work effectively, and work collaboratively across teams within the GMC in a complex and busy schedule.

This is a hybrid role; the candidate will agree attendance at the Edinburgh office. Attendance at other GMC offices or other travel may be required from time to time, and will be agreed with the Head of Section.

We are happy to consider a range of part‑time and flexible working options. Flexible working requests will be considered in line with the policy.
