Who are the Staffordshire & Stoke-on-Trent Health & Care People Hub?
We are a team working in partnership with NHS Trusts and Care organisations across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, finding the right people for the right job roles in the response to COVID-19. We recruit caring and compassionate people, registered and non-registered, who have the right values to care for patients or provide administrative support to busy teams in a variety of settings when they are required. Individuals recruited to the Hub are ready to be assigned to urgent work placements, supporting health and social care in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
What opportunities are there for me if I join?
You’ll be joining a hub of likeminded people, registered and non-registered, ready to help and support the coronavirus effort through a variety of key roles, with placements of varying length (some roles may be required for 3-12 months and others ad hoc to support based on urgent pressures).
