Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
The Resourcing Team at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is a fast-paced, dynamic team responsible for recruiting all non-medical staff to ensure wards and departments are fully staffed.
In the last year, we have recruited over 1,845 members of staff Trustwide and we are keen to continue developing our service to streamline our processes and provide the best experience possible for candidates and managers alike.
We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated individuals who can provide senior support within our busy Resourcing service, leading our team of Band 3s within our International and General Recruitment workstreams, whilst also working collaboratively with our Onboarding team.
The role of Resourcing Advisor involves managing a variable and independent workload that can involve prioritisation of tasks and working to important deadlines and KPIs. As the main part of the role, Resourcing Advisors are responsible for providing advice and additional senior support within the Resourcing service, coordination of yearly cohort planning, monitoring compliance across pre-employment checks (right to work, DBS, Medical Clearance and references), and management of more complex Recruitment processes to ensure efficiency & accuracy.
This is a full-time office-based role.
Please note, face-to-face interviews for this role will be held on 20th and 21st February.
Main duties of the job
We are looking for someone with a drive to provide support and direction to the Administrators and Assistants within their workstream, confidence to challenge or escalate against policies and procedures, excellent organisation skills, and a commitment to working accurately and efficiently in a busy environment. Exemplary customer service skills along with a clear and concise communication manner both on the telephone and in writing are also essential.
An understanding of and experience working within the Recruitment life cycle is essential, while NHS-specific experience or a thorough understanding of Recruitment within a Healthcare setting is preferable.
Computer literacy is essential as we use a number of IT systems such as Trac jobs & ESR to advertise jobs and process candidates, alongside frequent use of Microsoft Office and Teams.
If you feel you have the skill, desire, and experience required to make a difference, we would like to hear from you!
