The Talent Acquisition team is unique to The NHS Humber Health Partnerships and is designed to attract candidates to join us using non-traditional recruitment methods. The team also ensures an outstanding candidate experience, offering pastoral care to individuals relocating from outside of the local area and those new to the UK. The role of the Pastoral Care Officer is to act as the primary point of contact and facilitate the welcoming to the organization and support the ongoing needs of candidates in a variety of fields, such as housing, integrating into the community, and supporting the families of new recruits.
As the Pastoral Care Officer, you will work closely with colleagues throughout the organisation to ensure that the process of relocation, both prior to arriving in the local region and upon arrival, is as seamless and personalised as possible. You will offer support in a variety of areas to ensure that colleagues are well looked after and supported on both a practical and emotional level.
This role is hugely rewarding and would be ideal for someone compassionate, understanding, organised, and flexible, to meet the needs of the employees you will be supporting.
As the post holder, you will, with the help and advice of colleagues, support with all aspects of a candidate's relocation. This may include sourcing accommodation, liaising with external housing providers, registration with dentists and GPs, opening of bank accounts, sourcing suitable schooling placements, providing information around places of worship, and offering advice on the local area.
You will also be available for ongoing pastoral support throughout a candidate's employment, offering further advice and guidance on areas such as social activities, purchasing properties, staff benefits, and much more.
You will ensure candidates have an excellent experience when joining The NHS Humber Health Partnerships and have a robust induction plan, ensuring their expectations are exceeded and candidates feel supported and valued, and are well integrated within their teams.

As a Trust, we are keen to offer and encourage flexible working opportunities to address health and wellbeing and work-life balance for our employees. This will have a positive impact on the care we provide.
Flexible working is part of a wider commitment to improve the quality and experience of working life, and we recognise that it is a key contributor for the recruitment and retention of our employees.

As employers, we are committed to promoting and protecting the physical and mental health and well-being of all our staff.
