ABOUT THE JOB

Applications are invited for the role of Co-location & Disposals Lead working within the Estates Transformation Team.

The post holder will liaise directly with Divisional Commanders, their teams, and our partners, eg. Local Authorities, Scottish Fire & Rescue Service, Scottish Ambulance Service and NHS, to develop and implement future Divisional Estate Plans. These plans will ensure that co-location and collaboration with partners, and the wellbeing of our officers, staff and communities are at the forefront of our future planning and prioritisation.

The post holder will have overall responsibility to ensure that the Force Property Asset portfolio is effectively recorded on computerised databases and that property revenue payments/charges- both in and out (including rent and rates) are made.

The post holder will ensure compliance with Force requirements in the valuation activities of Estates staff.
