At Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (NNUH), collaboration is at the heart of everything we do – working closely with managers to create a positive and supportive workplace.
We’re looking for an exceptional and experienced HR Professional to join our HR Operations team. This is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to make a real impact in one of the UK’s leading NHS Trusts.
Why Join Us?
• Be part of a team that values collaboration, integrity, and excellence.
• Work on a wide range of HR and employment matters, supporting managers across the hospital, including attendance management, performance improvement, job evaluation, misconduct and probationary support.
• Contribute to a service that helps staff deliver outstanding care for every patient.
• You will be based in Norwich city centre, where you will be able to enjoy the vibrant mix of historic charm and modern amenities, great shops, cafes, and cultural attractions all just steps from your workplace at lunchtime or after work.

You will be highly professional, and a confident communicator with excellent interpersonal and problem-solving skills.
