Job description

Overview

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.

This is a permanent full-time post, working 37 hours per week, Monday to Friday.

Responsibilities

As a member of the Human Resources Redeployment Unit you will contribute to the provision of a responsive, professional and customer-focussed redeployment service to managers and employees across NHSGGC. You will provide HR support on a range of non-complex employee relations issues surrounding the Redeployment process.

In this role you will manage the Redeployment process from end-to-end, with a caseload of existing NHSGGC colleagues who require suitable alternative employment within the health board. You will support these individuals by understanding their circumstances and what alternative roles they could be suited to. You will then match these requirements against available vacancies, arrange informal interviews with hiring managers and complete the follow-up process.

Ideally you will have experience of working in a fast-paced, multi-unionised environment and managing a high-volume HR caseload. Working knowledge of the Redeployment process would be advantageous.

You will be a member of CIPD and have the minimum of a CIPD Accredited Certificate in HR Practice or have equivalent relevant practical Human Resources experience in a large complex organisation.

You will have:

• excellent communication
• interpersonal skills
• and pride yourself on providing quality customer service.

As well as organisational, time management and prioritisation skills you should demonstrate continual professional development through attendance at Employment Law study days, accessing updates through the Internet and journals.

It is essential that you have knowledge of employment legislation and Human Resources policies. In addition, knowledge of terms and conditions of service relevant to the range of staff groups within the NHS would be beneficial. You will also be confident in using the full range of Microsoft packages and have the ability to access and analyse HR data by utilising databases and HR information management systems.
