New Starter

Upon successful completion of employment checks, the recruitment officer will book the candidate's start date and issue the unconditional offer letter of employment and contract.

External new starters to the Trust must start on the day of Trust induction which is usually the first and third Monday of the month (usually adjusted for bank holidays and in December). The OD team will contact the candidate via email providing further information regarding mandatory training and will email line managers with the local induction details.

The candidate's details are then provided to the employment services team to input or amend ESR and to notify payroll.

If your candidate does not arrive in your ward / department when you expect, once you have made contact with your new starter and established their safety, it is important to notify your recruitment officer urgently. This will ensure when necessary, payment is stopped or the start date re-booked.
