Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust recruits a wide range of job roles including medical and non-medical posts.

Recruitment

The majority of our vacancies are advertised on NHS Jobs for a minimum of two weeks.

However, as some of our positions attract a large number of applicants, the Trust reserves the right to close vacancies earlier than originally stated. It is therefore advisable to complete your application as soon as possible.

If it is decided to close a vacancy earlier than originally advertised all applicants will receive an email notifying them of this decision and this will allow them 24 hours to complete and submit their application.

Tier 2 status

Applications from candidates who require Tier 2 immigration status to work in the UK may not be considered if there are a sufficient number of other suitable candidates.

To apply for a Tier 2 certificate of sponsorship, employers need to demonstrate that they are unable to recruit a resident worker before recruiting an individual from overseas. For further information please visit the Home Office or UK Border Agency websites.

Agenda for Change

All non-medical vacancies are covered by Agenda for Change Terms and Conditions of employment and these positions go through a job evaluation process in order to ensure that all jobs receive equal pay for work of equal value.

Medical recruitment

The Medical Human Resources (HR) Department at Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust organises paediatric junior doctor national recruitment for the Yorkshire and Humber region. The Trust is the lead employer for the South Yorkshire and the South Humber paediatric rotation.

The Medical HR Department also arranges the recruitment and selection of medical staff from various speciliaties and levels within paediatrics at the Trust, for example critical care, general medicine, surgery, and child and adolescent mental health services. We recruit to all levels within the Trust including consultants and junior doctors.

Employability

Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust works in partnership with Jobcentre Plus and all non-medical vacancies are advertised through Jobcentre Plus.

The trust has been awarded the two ticks disability symbol in recognition of its approach to equality and diversity in its policies and procedures.

Supporting staff

In addition to ensuring that the Trust has effective and legally compliant policies and procedures, the HR team recognises the importance of including all staff and creating the right environment where each person can make a positive contribution.

Through facilitation of engagement initiatives and working in partnership with other departmental colleagues and staff side representatives across the Trust, the HR team work to support fairness, consistency and a positive approach to collaborative working.
