  Req#: E0306-25-0006?language=en&page=946&sort=publicationDateDesc

  Job summary

  Working closely with GP Practices in Cornwall, you will be providing county-wide bank staff support. Youll be responsible for the administration and day-to-day management of the staff bank, including recruitment, onboarding, induction, training, and vacancy matching to provide temporary staffing solutions as and when needed.

  You must be an excellent communicator and able to work both independently and collaboratively with a range of people internally and externally. In the main, you will be externally facing, working with GP Practices to help job match, provide support, and resolve training needs.

  To be successful in this role, you will need to have excellent organisation skills, a proactive, solution-focused approach, and the ability to be adaptable in response to the fluid nature of the temporary staffing landscape. You will be comfortable building and developing relationships to meet the needs of stakeholders, whilst also contributing to projects and promotional events.

  On occasion, you will be required to support and/or provide cover for a counterpart who oversees the recruitment of locums onto the bank and our primary care hubs. You will help with recruitment processes and the uploading of information to a digital booking system, so experience working with systems and data is beneficial.

  Please note this is a fixed term maternity cover for 12 months or until the return of the postholder, whichever is sooner.

  Main duties of the job

  The Staff Bank comprises a small team that works collaboratively to help one another achieve. We dont believe in the phrase its not my job because a problem/query shared is a problem/query halved, and teamwork is paramount to all that we do.

  Ultimately, we are looking for an enthusiastic individual with a driven approach to finding staffing solutions. If this sounds like you or something youd like to be a part of, wed love to hear from you.

  The post-holder will be the first point of contact for temporary workers and as such should maintain high standards of courtesy, discretion and confidentiality. Working autonomously, youll provide an end-to-end temporary staffing service including bank recruitment, bank system administration, management and coordination of bookings. You will oversee the onboarding of bank staff, be responsible for reviewing, monitoring and reporting on vacant and filled shifts, and facilitate payment for Bank and/or Locum staff in general practice within Cornwall.

  There will also be a requirement to support a counterpart with the staffing of the Primary Care and Womens Health hubs during periods of absence, annual leave, and peak periods. To meet the needs of the service the post-holder may be required to work in other administrative areas as deemed appropriate by the line manager.

• About the company

  National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
