These include links for managers to be able to request to fill a vacancy, as well as links for employees who want to see our latest vacancies and opportunities. You will also find links to information pages about our new scheme known as re.cr.uit (retaining employees. changing roles. using internal talent). This new scheme encompasses internal recruitment and redeployment. As an employee, to access most internal opportunities, you will need to sign up to the scheme.
At the bottom of this page, you will find relevant policies and guidance documents too.
There have been recent legislative changes relating to criminal convictions which people need to disclose to potential employers. To view a briefing note on this, please click here.
Please note that you should still not ask any candidates about criminal convictions during the recruitment and selection process. The HR Service Centre will take care of this and will advise you of anything you need to know.
