An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual to join the Medical Workforce Team for a fixed term period of 12 months to commence in January 2023. This role is based at Infinity House, Crewe in modern open plan office accommodation and will also include remote working.

As a Medical Workforce Officer you will contribute to the provision of an efficient and effective resourcing and advisory service for our medical workforce across the Trust, providing a confidential, safe, efficient and effective administrative service.

This role is for 12 months covering the secondment period of the permanent post holder.

You will be responsible for managing NHS recruitment activity for all medical staff within your designated areas, undertaking pre-employment checks for all new starters and ensuring the pre-boarding journey is first class supporting the reduction in time to hire.

You will support clinical managers by exploring new roles, undertake benchmarking exercises, discuss creative recruitment methods and explore the use of placement agencies where vacancies are unsuccessfully filled by direct NHS recruitment, to reduce temporary staffing spend and provide stability for the medical workforce in that area.

You will also be responsible for pro-actively sourcing bank and agency medical staff to support operational demands and ensure safe staffing levels are met. You will ensure that all agency staff are compliant to NHS Framework requirements and undertake employment checks for all bank staff with regular reviews in place. For all agency staff you will regularly review all contracts in line with other recruitment activity to ensure agency spend is reduced at the earliest opportunity, whilst maintaining safe staffing levels for patient safety. You will also support the sourcing of agency Allied Health Professionals (Agency AHP’s).

You will also be expected to undertake other administrative duties as stated in the job description, providing administrative support to the Medical Workforce Advisor / Manager as and when required.

Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (MCHFT) provides good quality, safe and effective healthcare to the people of Cheshire and beyond. The Trust, which manages Leighton Hospital in Crewe, Victoria Infirmary in Northwich, and Elmhurst Intermediate Care Centre in Winsford, was established as an NHS Trust in April 1991 and became a Foundation Trust in April 2008.

We employ almost 5,000 members of staff, provide around 540 hospital beds, with a range of services including accident and emergency, maternity, outpatients, therapies, and children's health.

The Trust is also part of Central Cheshire Integrated Care Partnership (CCICP), a unique local health partnership that provides a range of community services for people across South Cheshire and Vale Royal.

During the Coronavirus pandemic, the Trust was recognised nationally for its ‘Be Safe Be EquiPPEd’ campaign, which aimed to make the Trust as safe as possible for staff and patients, through supporting the correct use of PPE.

The results in the 2020 national NHS Staff Survey showed improvements in all elements of the safety culture theme, with 92% of respondents feeling their role made a difference to our patients. We were also recognised nationally for our workforce health and wellbeing initiatives.

At Mid Cheshire, we value our staff and appreciate that in order to give our patients the best quality, compassionate care, we also need to look after our colleagues.

Please see the attached job description for further information regarding key duties.

This post is based within a busy and pressurised department and requires excellent communication and organisational skills, the ability to work on your own initiative at times and also be a strong team player is essential for this role.

It is a rewarding role, however, can be challenging at times due to operational demands. You will join an experienced and supportive team who will provide full training and support. Being a strong team player is essential and being able to remain calm when working under pressure.
