With proven experience in ER and supporting more junior colleagues you will undertake a senior role within the team.

Excellent communication is essential and you will be required to work on your own initiative as well as part of a wider team, with the ability to prioritise and manage your workload effectively.

5. To provide advice and support to managers to help ensure the effective, efficient and fair treatment of staff in accordance with employment law and Trust policy and procedures. To keep the effectiveness of procedures under review, making recommendations concerning any changes. To work with managers on ways of overcoming any identified recruitment difficulties.

The Town of Reading sits on the River Thames and is served by great road and rail links to London, Oxford, and Southampton. With excellent leisure and shopping facilities, and a thriving cultural scene, Reading is a wonderful place to live, work, and play and provides excellent facilities
for families, including some of the best state and private schools in the UK.
The CQC recently rated the care provided by The Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust as good.

Our values; Compassionate, Aspirational, Resourceful, Excellent, reflect the type of Trust we aspire to be and you can join our dedicated and
talented staff to make this happen.

1. To contribute to the development and updating of the Trust policies, procedures and practice, helping to ensure that they comply with statutory employment law and case law, and contribute to the development of effective staff management practices across the Trust.

2. To design and deliver specific workforce training programmes, reviewing and evaluating their effectiveness. To contribute to the identification of future staff learning and development needs in support of the Trust's business needs.

3. As agreed, to provide expertise and support on the implementation across the Trust of specified national and Trust initiatives and projects.

4. As required, to research specific workforce related management topics, using sources from inside and outside of the NHS as appropriate. To make proposals on changes and improvements to practice and policies in the Trust.

5. To contribute to the provision of a quality service across the Trust through:

- The provision of advice to managers and staff whenever appropriate.
