NHS Highland Looking for Adult Social Care Career and Attraction Officer at Argyll, Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand Full Time

Do you have an interest in improving the quality of care, can you COLLABORATE, INNOVATE AND COMMUNICATE, and would you like to join a committed and highly motivated team? This could be the opportunity you have been waiting for.

We are seeking to engage a Career & Attraction Officer within the Adult Social Care Sector within NHS Highland Health & Social Care Partnership. This is a new role which will work closely with both internal and independent sector colleagues to promote the benefits of working in social care and to specifically support and attract more potential employees to work in this highly rewarding sector that really makes a difference to people’s lives.

We are recruiting to the above post which will work across North Highland with a key focus on the attraction, recruitment and retention of our staff within Care Homes and Care at Home teams.

The post holder must be highly motivated, passionate about care home and care at home service delivery, be able to use initiative, possess excellent communication and networking skills, along with excellent IT and social media understanding.

Recent experience of working in the adult social care sector or have a passion for care would be a significant advantage, as would care sector recruitment experience, although this is not essential for the right candidate.

The successful candidate will be required to spend a significant amount of time in the North Highland area. There is flexibility around where this post is based and this can be discussed with candidates.
