Two roles funded as part of the Community Recruitment Programme

12 May 2025

These roles, Community Recruitment Partner and Community Recruitment Officer, were specifically designed as part of the Community Recruitment Programme, which aims to hire qualified people in the local area and reduce health inequalities by increasing awareness of and access to quality employment.

Between 2022-23, the Trust recruited for 272 entry-level roles that were filled by people living in the North West London area, which they increased to 315 in 2023-24. The recruitment team also attended 20 community recruitment events in 2022 to increase awareness of the roles available.

In addition to increasing employment in the local area, the Community Recruitment Programme also conducted interview workshops and career development programmes that offered guidance to jobseekers on the type of roles they’d be most suited for, and to help build up their confidence when applying for jobs.

The two roles were initially set up under 18-month contracts, but as a result of the success and impact of the programme, we were able to make the Community Recruitment Officer a permanent role.
