You will be expected to work with a degree of autonomy, confidently prioritising competing demands and escalating matters appropriately where there are increased risks or complexities.

Our team objective is to work in partnership with our clinical and corporate service colleagues and other stakeholders to provide a first-class HR service that delivers consistent, timely and high-quality advice and support, based on current legislation, NHS best practice and Trust policies and procedures.

About us

You will be joining a supportive, collaborative and experienced HR Business Partnering Team, working alongside colleagues who are committed to providing a high-quality HR service across the Trust.

We value teamwork, professional expertise and strong working relationships with our services. We share knowledge and support each other, while encouraging individuals to bring their own experience, judgement and ideas to the team.
