Human Resources Administrator

As an outstanding rated NHS Trust, we are on a mission to overhaul our recruitment function and people practices to accelerate our vision of becoming Better Every Day with compassion and diversity and inclusion at the heart of everything we do.

The HR Services Team provides a comprehensive range of transactional recruitment and employment services from the Trust Headquarters at Sentinel House, Nuffield Industrial Estate, Poole.

The Human Resources Administrator role is the first point of contact for recruiting managers within the Trust, applicants, interviewees and existing staff. This role is a key element of the recruitment process from placing and closing advertisements, sending out interview invitations to initiating pre-employment checks.

The role has been designed to allow the opportunity to experience a broad range of activities within the team and is ideal for someone looking to develop their recruitment and HR related experience.

There are two full-time posts available (one permanent and one offered on a fixed-term/secondment basis for 12 months). The successful applicants will spend the majority of their time in the office, with some opportunities to work from home.

We are looking for someone to join our supportive team who has effective time management and prioritisation skills, together with experience of working to deadlines within a busy high-volume environment.

As a Human Resources Administrator, you will be responsible for:

- Providing a high quality service to all Recruiting Managers, Trust employees, potential employees and applicants.
- Ensuring the HR administration process is managed efficiently and effectively.
- Acting as the main point of contact for Recruiting Managers, applicants and interviewees. Take ownership of the process through placing adverts, closing adverts, shortlisting and recruitment checks.

A good working knowledge of Trac (recruitment system), NHS Jobs, ESR (Electronic Staff Record) and Microsoft Office software packages is desirable. You should be able to demonstrate excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, as you will liaise with applicants and managers of all levels across the Trust relating to their recruitment activity.

At Dorset HealthCare we’re on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services. We’re a dynamic, forward-looking Trust, running 12 community hospitals, specialist inpatient facilities and a wide range of integrated community and mental health services for a population of almost 800,000 people.

We do things differently here - it’s one of the reasons the CQC rated us ‘outstanding’ in 2019. It’s also why 95% of patients across our services say they have a good or very good experience of our services and 89% of staff feel they can really make a difference. Whether you’re looking to work with us in one of our bustling market towns, vibrant urban locations, thriving seaside spots, or among the rolling hills of Dorset, there are lots of ways you can make a difference in our communities.

Our 7,000-strong workforce is at the heart of what we do and our success is a testament to our brilliant people. We're all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities and we celebrate diversity. We’re an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be authentic, and we are all encouraged to be the best version of ourselves.

Working with us you’ll be part of a strong team, challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don’t know. And you’ll be working towards our vision to be better every day through excellence, compassion and expertise in all we do.
