This is an exciting opportunity to join our Medical Recruitment team for an experienced recruitment or HR professional looking to take the next step in their leadership career. You will lead and support a dedicated Medical Recruitment team, overseeing the delivery of a high-quality, customer-focused recruitment service for doctors across the Trust.

As Recruitment Team Leader, you will lead the day-to-day operational management of the Medical Recruitment team, ensuring the delivery of a responsive, efficient and high-quality recruitment service for medical and dental staff across the Trust. You will work closely with recruiting managers, candidates and senior stakeholders to ensure recruitment processes are delivered effectively, compliantly and in line with national standards.

The role offers the opportunity to make a real difference to the recruitment and employment of doctors at one of the UK's leading teaching hospitals. You will play a key role in supporting the Trust's workforce objectives, improving recruitment processes and helping us attract and appoint high-quality medical professionals who deliver exceptional patient care.

Working for our organisation

As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.

We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
