NHS Lothian

The Lothian Parent and Infant Relationship Service (PAIRS) is a small multi-disciplinary team supporting parent-infant relationships in the first three years of life, to promote optimal infant mental health.
NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

** Please note: we anticipate a high level of interest in this position and may close the vacancy early once a sufficient amount of applications are received. Therefore, please make sure you complete and submit your application at an early stage **

We will fully support disabled candidates, and candidates with long-term conditions or who are neurodivergent by making reasonable adjustments to our recruitment policy and practices.

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.

This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled professional to lead the administrative services for our developing teams.

The Lothian Parent and Infant Relationship Service (PAIRS) is a small multi-disciplinary team supporting parent-infant relationships in the first three years of life, to promote optimal infant mental health. We provide assessment, formulation and a range of evidence based group and one-to-one interventions for infants and their parents / carers. We also provide indirect support through training, consultation and reflective practice to a range of professionals and services working with infants.

The Maternity & Neonatal Psychological Interventions (MNPI) team is a Lothian-wide service for women and birthing people and their families for intervention related to the impacts of complex pregnancy, birth or neonatal care experiences. The team offer assessment, indirect support via the maternity team, and direct interventions to support emotional coping during pregnancy and neonatal care, and emotional recovery/support for the developing parent-infant relationship in the first year following complex experiences of birth or neonatal care.

This post sits with oversight and responsibility for administration across both teams, with direct line management role for a Medical Secretary.

We warmly welcome any informal enquiries to Dr Kirsten Coull, Consultant Clinical Psychologist at
