Temporary Staffing Administrator

When departments have planned and unplanned gaps in rosters and can’t be filled by substantive staff, bank workers work flexibly to cover ad hoc shifts across the organisation. Acting as the Trusts frontline defence before shifts are escalated to agencies. The temporary staffing team will provide an essential service in managing bookings, recruiting both internal & external workers, ensuring training compliance is maintained & providing support to managers & bank workers. Where bank can’t fill, they will then escalate to agency and ensuring that suppliers fill urgent ad hoc shifts following the Trusts agency booking procedure.
You will be required to work 15 hours per week over 2 days to be discussed
