Do you look at traditional recruitment processes and instantly see ways to optimise them by using automation, creating efficiency and using modern tools such as AI? Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust is going through an exciting period of workforce transformation. We are moving away from the static status quo and pushing toward a culture of continuous improvement, faster time to hire, and an unparalleled candidate journey. We are seeking a forward-thinking Resourcing Manager - Talent Acquisition to lead, train, and inspire our operational partnering team. Reporting to the Head of Resourcing, you will take total ownership of our day-to-day talent pipelines, bringing commercial best practice into a large, complex NHS environment. If you thrive in ambiguous settings, don't need constant direction, and possess a burning curiosity for how technology can transform recruitment, while retaining the human element, we want to hear from you. ### Main duties of the job - Lead & Upskill: Provide visible, supportive leadership to a dedicated team of Talent Acquisition Partners and Officers. You will coach, train, and elevate their capabilities to build a high-performing, modern TA function. - Champion Modern TA Technology: Act as our internal expert on recruitment automation. You will look at ways to optimise our current systems (such as TRAC and NHS Jobs) while exploring how AI, robotics, and advanced ATS workflows can accelerate time-to-hire and elevate both the candidate and hiring manager experience. - Drive Continuous Improvement: Audit existing 360-degree recruitment pathways. You will have a meticulous eye for detail, constantly tweaking and redesigning workflows to remove operational friction. - Data-Driven Influence: Analyse and present workforce data and market insights to spot emerging trends. You will build immediate credibility with senior directorate managers by presenting data backed solutions to hard to fill vacancies. - Navigate Ambiguity: Step confidently into a fast-paced, changing environment. You will work autonomously, thinking outside the box to establish creative sourcing strategies and build sustainable talent pipelines. - An Experienced, Multi-Sector Recruiter: You have a proven track record in talent acquisition management, ideally blending commercial/agency speed and innovation with the scale of a large, complex organisation. (NHS experience is a plus but not essential, your broad market perspective is what will set you apart). - Tech-Savvy Architect: You understand the mechanics of a great ATS. You have experience setting up, transitioning, or heavily configuring recruitment systems and possess a strong vision for automated workflows. - Change Agent: You possess a positive, can-do attitude toward organisational change and excel at guiding teams through cultural shifts. - Credible Communicator: You are comfortable constructively challenging the way things are done, presenting to senior stakeholders, and managing complex or emotive recruitment challenges with ease. ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities - Continuous Improvement & Ambiguity: Tell us about a time when a recruitment process or campaign was deemed "successful" by others, but your eye for detail identified critical areas for improvement. How did you proactively redesign the process in an ambiguous or changing environment without waiting for direction. - Data & Stakeholder Credibility: Describe a scenario where you used recruitment data and market trends to influence a senior, sceptical hiring manager. How did you present the information to challenge their perspective and deliver a successful sourcing strategy for a hard-to-fill role? ## Person Specification ### Skills **Essential** - Demonstrate success in building, leading, motivating, managing and developing high functioning teams. - Experience in developing candidate attraction strategies and creative recruitment campaigns. - Operational management/leadership experience.
