Our HR Admin / Recruitment Service

The Trust aims to provide a recruitment & selection service that is committed to increasing its service quality and efficiency by attracting and recruiting the right people for the wide variety of roles that exist in the organisation.

We aim to have services that are open and non-discriminatory and have a workforce that reflects the diversity of the patients we serve. As we believe our patients should have equal access to care, our staff should also have equal opportunities in the workplace. We seek to be an equal opportunities employer and all individuals, regardless of race, nationality, gender or disability are encouraged to apply for all posts for which they are suitable.

If you have a disability or require special arrangements when applying or attending for interview please notify the HR administration/services department who will make every effort to accommodate your requirements. We work in partnership with Jobcentre Plus Disability Employment Advisors who advise the Trust as to any modifications or adjustments required throughout the recruitment process and on commencement of appointment.

The HR Admin / Recruitment Services is a busy department in the Trust, but ensures a high standard of recruitment administration is maintained, that recruitment checks to ensure the requirements of “safe recruitment” are met and that appropriate documentation is completed for each new employee including progressing and issuing the statement of particulars (contracts) and relevant information provided to Payroll. We are committed to the continued development of the service, staff development and the concept of team working.

Safer Recruitment To Prevent Illegal Working & Ensure Patient Safety

The intention of the Trust is to ensure that the required pre-employment checks are made in accordance with legislation and best practice.

We prefer to employ non-smokers NHS regulations require that any member of staff working unsupervised with vulnerable adults or children must be CRB checked. As an organisation using the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Disclosure Service to assess applicants’ suitability for positions of trust, the Trust endeavours to comply fully with the CRB Code of Practice and undertakes to treat all applicants for positions fairly. It undertakes not to discriminate unfairly against any subject of a Disclosure on the basis of conviction or other information revealed.

The Criminal Records Bureau has two specific types of Disclosure – Enhanced and Standard. The Trust uses the Standard levels of Disclosure except for midwives or posts working with children. POCA (Protection of Children’s Act) checks are carried out for regulated childcare positions.

Pre employment checks

These take on average 3 weeks to complete (8 weeks if an enhanced CRB Disclosure is required) and include the following:

• Health clearance • Provision of 2 references • CRB clearance (if appropriate for the post) • Right to Work Clearance • Leave to remain/Home Office approval It is important to note that this approval can take much longer as this is purely a personal matter between the Home Office and the candidate.

Further information regarding the Criminal Record Bureau can be found at www.disclosure.gov.uk or by telephoning the information line on 0870 9090811.
