Overview:
Join our team and make a real difference to the people of Scotland.

Are you passionate about helping others? Do you want to be a driving force in ensuring that the people of Scotland receive the benefits they deserve? We're on the lookout for dedicated individuals to join our organisation.

This is a rewarding career where you will join an organisation, and team, that values your contributions and offers a supportive environment for professional growth. We are committed to serving the community, whilst creating a brighter future for the people of Scotland. As a key player in our team, you'll play a vital role in ensuring that every eligible individual receives the right benefits at the right time.

These hearings may take place by telephone, video link or in person at Tribunal centres across Scotland. Therefore, some travel may be required.

This position is ideal for someone who is empathetic and able to put clients first. It is important that you are an effective decision maker and are able to build trust and rapport with clients.

This is a high-profile and exciting area, with continuing political, public and media interest. The Appeals Team is split across two locations, our headquarters in Dundee and an additional location in Glasgow.

- Access to our flexible working system with potential to accrue up to four additional days’ leave in a four-week period.
- Minimum five weeks’ annual leave (pro rata) in addition to 11.5 public and privilege holidays.
