Head of Service: Recruitment and Retention

Full time/flex working/secondment

As we re-focus our HR Service on the needs of BTHFT in our journey to become an outstanding Trust an opportunity has arisen to lead our Recruitment and Medical Workforce teams and to develop our recruitment and retention strategy.

We are keen to modernise our recruitment pathways and you will play a lead role in making the best use of technology to transform the Service we provide to applicants and to managers in the Trust and to make Bradford a great place to work. Recruiting from our local communities is also extremely important to us and you will work with our Education department to grow our apprenticeship offers and to take a new approach to entry level recruitment.

This is one of two Head of Service roles we have available due to retirement and promotion. The portfolios available are:

• Medical Workforce
• Recruitment
• Workforce Information
• Flexible Workforce
  
  

The portfolio for the successful candidate is flexible and can be negotiated.

We are excited to be a People Promise Exemplar site and you will lead retention and reward interventions which will improve staff experience.

You will provide strategic leadership to our teams developing a quality, comprehensive and customer focussed service.

If you are interested in having the opportunity to transform services we would love to hear from you.

We welcome applications from disabled people or those with long term health conditions. If you need the application form in a different format or need to discuss any reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010, please telephone 01274 276823 or Fax: 01274 274025.

We also welcome applications from people with a lived experience of providing unpaid care/support to a family member or friend with a disability, health condition, frailty, mental health problem, addiction and or other health and care needs.

In the event of exceptionally high levels of response, we reserve the right to close the post before the date stated above in order to prevent the number of applications received being unmanageable. You are advised to submit your completed application form as soon as possible to have the best chance of being considered.

You should receive continuous notifications throughout the application process and of the outcome of your application (and details of interview, if shortlisted) via the NHS Jobs Website. However, if you have not been invited to attend for interview within four weeks of the closing date for this post you may therefore assume that you have not been shortlisted.

Please take the time to read the DBS Code of Practice where this applies. If you have any queries of a sensitive nature, that you do not wish to discuss with us as a potential employer (e.g. issues around transgender status) the DBS have a confidential e-mail address for such enquires - sensitive@dbs.gsi.gov.uk
