Job description

Fixed term contract/ Secondment to 31 March 2026

We have embarked on a programme to implement a single Electronic Patient Record (EPR) as part of the NHS digital health ongoing initiative across the Norfolk and Waveney Acute Hospital Collaborative (NWAHC). The collaborative is made up of three acute hospitals in Norfolk and Waveney:

• James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (JPUH)
• Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (NNUH)
• The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust (QEH)

This is a unique opportunity to contribute your skills and expertise to create a meaningful impact on the health and well-being of individuals throughout Norfolk and Waveney. We are dedicated to advancing our digital capabilities in alignment with our long-term strategic goals, ensuring a high standard of patient care and safety for our diverse communities.

The acute hospitals in Norfolk are a vital part of the health and social care system. Our digital mission is an essential part of our transformation into a post-modern healthcare system.

If you are currently working in the NHS and are considering a secondment, please seek your line manager's approval before applying.

Flexible hybrid working: a combination of working from Norfolk County Hall and/or Rouen Road site locations 2-3 days per week and from home – we offer flexibility to fit your lifestyle.

We have an exciting opportunity for an HR/Recruitment Manager to join the EPR Programme to lead the team in the delivery of high-quality HR advice, administration, and recruitment services. If you're looking to be part of an impactful project, this could be the perfect role for you!

You will manage the EPR HR/Recruitment Officers, ensuring the team provides focused HR support to the EPR Programme, operating within employment legislation and good practice frameworks particularly about recruitment, employment, and organisational change.

Educated to degree level or equivalent, you will be a CIPD qualified HR Generalist with a strong track record of providing professional advice, support, and coaching on all aspects of HR, including employee relations and change management, and of managing recruitment, ideally in an NHS setting or large, complex, and unionised organization.

You will have demonstrable knowledge and understanding of current Employment Law, being able to interpret and apply legislation effectively.

You will have excellent interpersonal skills to develop good relationships across the programme and support your team in handling HR issues sensitively and confidentially.

Well organized, you will be able to work flexibly and under pressure to respond to changing service priorities as well as delivering to deadlines.

If you're eager to contribute to an exciting project and make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you!
