Starting

You will be sent your contact of employment prior to your start date, and you will be asked to read this. Once you have read it, you must accept your contract on the Trac website. You can do this by logging onto your account and viewing your tasks.

You may also be asked to complete a feedback form. We want to ensure the Recruitment process is as smooth as possible and easy to understand for new starters, as well as a timely process. Please feel free to leave your feedback, whether negative or positive, to help us shape our recruitment service.

Your first day is different depending on the team you are working in; you could either be attending the Trust’s induction or you could be welcomed into your new team, meeting new people & completing some mandatory e-Learning.

You should have received confirmation of your induction booking by the Recruitment team. The Learning & Development team will send you your full schedule including locations of your induction via email, please check your emails including your junk for this. If you do not receive this email, then please contact the Learning & Development team on 0115 671 4610.

I would like to welcome you to Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and hope that you enjoy your time with us, whether that is part of a rotational scheme, passing through, or the start of a long and fruitful career with the Trust. We aspire to be a fantastic place to work, appreciating that health and social care settings can be challenging environments, and at the same time provide some of the most rewarding jobs around.

One of our key priorities is to enable our staff to do a great job because we know that happy staff means happy patients, service users, families, and carers. We will therefore aim to provide the following:

• Clarity about your job role including clearly defined objectives
• Feedback on progress including a “value added” appraisal
• Access to support and development opportunities to progress your career aspirations
• Recognition of achievements both personal and as a member of your team
• A culture that supports and encourages speaking up and involvement in innovation and service improvements

Whilst I appreciate there is much to do and we don’t have all of this cracked, our recent work across the organisation on our refreshed culture and values has set some firm foundations on which to build. The values our Trust: Honesty; Compassion; Respect; Teamwork; and Trust are at the heart of what we are about, and I am really excited about our collective potential to be a great organisation. Made just that bit better by your arrival and all that you bring.

I wish you all the best.

John Brewin

Chief Executive

Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
