      Job summary

      The Recruitment Team at NSFT have a really exciting opportunity for a driven individual, to support the administration and customer service aspect of the recruitment process, from advertising right through to contract issuing on a 6 month fixed term/secondment basis.

      You will have great administration skills, with experience working on a variety of systems. You will be able to work within a team who support each other daily, but also manage and prioritise a busy and sometimes demanding workload.

      We work Monday to Friday 9 - 5 but can offer some flexibility on start and end times. We have recently moved bases to County Hall in Norwich, although we do offer hybrid working, there is a expectation that you're able to attend the office around 2 days a week. In addition to this, we attend recruitment events and support our Trust Inductions at Hellesdon Hospital every other week.

      Main duties of the job

      Our values of Positively, Respectfully and Together underpin all we do and here's how they relate to our work and to this role:

      As a busy team we have a responsibility to the applicant and to the hiring manager. We therefore work positively to make sure we provide a high level of customer service. This role will include interaction and communication with others. To many we are the first point of contact with the Trust, so we are looking for someone who can demonstrate they understand how key good communication and customer service is.

      The recruitment team is committed to offering the best possible experience and this requires us to work respectfully with each other and the wider Trust. You will learn about the end to end recruitment process, acquiring essential administration skills in the process. We will expect you to share our passion for achieving excellence.

      About us

      Here at NSFT we pride ourselves on being a welcoming, talented, friendly and supportive team who like nothing better than sharing experiences and learning from each other. In addition to ongoing training and development opportunities, we are committed to providing an environment in which you can thrive.

      Why work for us?We have challenges as a Trust, but we have ambitious aspirations, are pushing ahead with exciting transformation work and we need dedicated individuals to support us on our journey. We have strong, established professional networks coupled with an exceptional leadership team who will ensure you are truly cared for and cared about.

      Why Norfolk and Suffolk?The people here are warm and welcoming, you'll never be far from the beautiful coastline or Broads National Park. We're an hour and a half away from London and have an international airport in Norwich too. Our villages, towns and cities are packed full of history, independent cafes, shops and theatres. We have excellent shopping, eating out, top ranking schooling and affordable house prices too.

  • About the company

      National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
