This is a fixed term post for 6 months (until March 2026), supporting the Urgent Emergency Care Improvement programme across Royal Free Hospital Health Unit. This post will lead an absence management reduction project within the Acute Medicine, ED and Elderly care (AMEDEC) division reporting to the HR Business Partner. This will entail reviewing current systems and processes for recording and reporting absences for all staff groups, education of managers on effective absence management and supporting the wellbeing of staff who are absent from work. In addition, the post holder will work alongside the HR Business Partnering team to improve the reporting of junior doctor sickness across the business unit and ensure effective use of the nursing roster system for effective leave planning.
The HRBP Advisor will work closely with the Employee relations RFH team to ensure a high-quality absence management service to the division.
In addition, the post holder will also work closely with other key stakeholders e.g. Occupational health, e-rostering, temporary staffing service etc.
