Why Are We Recruiting?
As our services are contract led, this brings a lot of change that we need to be resilient to. We are proud to be in a position of being the leading provider of substance misuse treatment services and looking to retain as well as develop these services. Our recruitment needs over the past 12+ months has increased so our focus has been on how we can better attract a diverse range of candidates to work for us, as well as retaining those staǖ we do have.
We have therefore set up a Recruitment and Onboarding working group to look at all stages of our recruitment process. This is still in the early stages, but to date our main focus has been “peer led value-based interviewing”, which includes involving our main stakeholders in the recruiting process.
