Workforce & Resourcing Manager

The Workforce & Resourcing Manager is responsible for ensuring the organisation has the right people, in the right roles, at the right time to meet contractual and operational requirements.

The role combines: workforce management (capacity, rotas, utilisation, absence, and deployment), and recruitment management (line management of recruiters and oversight of hiring pipelines).

The postholder will ensure that staffing levels support delivery of contracts with NHS England, the Home Office, and NHS Trusts, while controlling workforce cost and risk.

This is a people management role with responsibility for managing recruiters and coordinating workforce activity with Operations and Contracts.
