Main duties of the job
UHS (University Hospital Southampton Trust) provides a proactive recruitment service to our Managers and our HR Operations Team is responsible for the onboarding of our staff at all levels. The team also oversee international recruitment, visa checks, DBS and contract changes and payroll.
You will lead a team of HR Administrators and Co-ordinators to deliver a compliant, efficient and reliable service to the Trust.

The work your team delivers ultimately ensures our hospital is fully staffed and can treat our patients. Your knowledge of HR compliance and legislation around visas and DBS will be critical.
Working for our organisation

Specific to this role is the suitability for agile working which is a mixture of on-site and remote working. In addition, we are open to discussing flexibility in the hours that you work.
