We have an exciting opportunity for a Resourcing Officer to join our dynamic and supportive team, helping to recruit and on-board staff across multiple NHS Trusts.

The Royal Surrey has recently launched the People Flexi-Bank, a collaborative service for temporary staffing across the Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System (ICS). Whilst this position will support temporary staffing recruitment, this is a permanent role.

What you will be doing:

•    Working closely with managers to identify staffing needs and refine job descriptions
•    Coordinating interviews, managing applications and ensuring smooth candidate experiences
•    Ensuring timely and efficient recruitment that meets service demands

Please note this is an onsite role, and interviews will be held in person. There will be an assessment, as part of the interview process.

Previous applicants need not apply.
