Recruitment Officer

"From day one I have been embraced by the team and have felt like my opinion has been valued. This year has really opened my eyes about the extent of the non-clinical side of the NHS and the enormous range of jobs within it and has left me much better prepared to decide what I want from my future and how to go about achieving it."

Lorraine Acott, Senior HR Consultant, said:
“We will be enormously sad when Fiona leaves us, her confidence and enthusiasm has made her a real asset to the team. She picked up our systems and processes remarkably quickly and I know she can be relied on to use her initiative and deal with issues in what is a highly responsible position.

Fiona's role is critical to our recruitment process and she manages around 40 ongoing vacancies at a time. Fiona oversees the entire process from when the position is advertised to when the applicant accepts and all of the managers she deals with along the way are full of praise for her attitude and professionalism."
