Band 4

Job overview

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Bank Resourcing Officer to join our growing team, managing the recruitment and on-boarding of bank staff, including Agenda for Change (AfC) and Medical staff (including Consultants) across multiple NHS Trusts. This is a fixed-term post for 6 months (ASAP start date).

This role is essential in delivering an efficient service, ensuring staffing needs are met promptly and in line with departmental requirements.

Your responsibilities will include collaborating with managers to understand staffing needs, reviewing and refining job descriptions, advertising, coordinating interviews and managing applications. If you are organised, proactive and thrive in a fast-paced environment, we would love to hear from you!

Interviews for this role will take place on Thursday 20th February 2025 in person at the Trust.
