About this role
We are looking to extend our team of Bank Casework Investigators (Band 6 hourly rate) to support the delivery of high-quality employment investigations across the Trust.
This is a flexible opportunity ideal for experienced professionals who can undertake complex, sensitive investigations on an ad-hoc basis. You will play a key role in ensuring investigations are conducted fairly, thoroughly ad in line with Trust policies, support and effective and timely decision-making.
You will be involved in liaising with a cross section of colleagues including managers, employee relations, Staff Side and witnesses to establish the facts of the case.
Please note that this post does not meet the pay or skill level required for a Skilled worker visa.
Successful applicants with no prior NHS experience would normally be placed at the bottom of the band in line with Agenda for Change. This salary is below the minimum salary required for sponsorship for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa. In these circumstances the Trust would not, therefore, be able to sponsor for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa.
Applicants requiring a Skilled Worker Visa can determine the likelihood of obtaining a Certificate of Sponsorship against the relevant criteria here https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa
