Medical Employee Relations Advisor

About the Role

We have an exciting opportunity to join our busy yet supportive Medical Workforce team as a Medical Employee Relations Advisor. This is a varied and enjoyable role, where you will be providing initial advice and support to clinical areas within the Trust. The role will involve advising staff and managers on terms, conditions and policies as well as providing administration support to the Medical Workforce Employee Relations Team on a range of casework including conduct, capability and ill health.

You will have general admin experience, including experience of working in a high-volume environment and relevant NVQ2 or equivalent.

You will provide a proactive and responsive first point of contact for staff and managers requiring advice.

• Support the team with comprehensive administrative tasks, including gathering information and undertaking enquiries as and when necessary.
• Facilitate the smooth running of the service under the direction and supervision of senior colleagues.
