The people directorate (HR) are key in supporting the Trust to be a great place to work.
The people directorate manages all issues relating to the employment of people including: recruitment, amending or introducing new policies (for example hybrid working to help deliver effective services while also supporting work-life balance, and sustainable use of resources and estate). We work closely with staff side representatives (unions) and have responsibility for keeping up to date and accurate records on all of our employees.
We also coach, support and advise managers in dealing with issues such as performance management, disciplinary, absence and workforce plans.
We are proactive in receiving feedback from our staff as we are committed to improving employee experience. The people directorate make sure that our colleagues are fully supported and able to do their job. This includes making sure our people have the right skills and ensuring they are safe, healthy and well at work.
By creating a positive, enabling and supportive working environment for our staff we are making a commitment to providing better outcomes, higher quality care, and more compassionate services.

If you are passionate about being able to make a difference we offer a range of opportunities, including being involved in the recruitment of new staff, ensuring people are paid accurately and on time, producing workforce statistics and reports and providing quotes on vehicles for people wishing to get a car through the employee car scheme. Whatever your preference - numbers, people, even cars - you will create meaningful relationships with your colleagues and help shape workplace culture.
Our recruitment is person-centred. We're committed to keeping you informed at all stages and supporting you along the way.
You'll receive a first rate induction and access to a range of development programmes.
