Trust sickness remains above target but in line with the previous year. Bank & Agency- Target 5% - Actual 4.4%. After a fall in bank and agency in April figures rose again to January and March rates linked to vacancy rates in Adults and Older Adults and less use of sessionals in May.

Recruitment Data Recruitment activity has increased rapidly in May, this is seasonal as we are currently advertising the various student roles that will start in September. The number of applications has increased slightly but in proportion to the number of adverts it is stable, this demonstrates the continued affect that the introduction of pre-application and specific application questions has had on the number and quality of applications made. We welcome two new members to the recruitment team - a Resourcing Advisor, will be responsible for the everyday management and expansion of Recruitment Solutions - the in-house temporary administrative staff agency. A second Resourcing Advisor, will be supporting the Adult and Children & Young People’s Directorates with their recruitment needs. The Resourcing Advisors will be contacting their services over the next few weeks to arrange times to meet the managers and staff so that they are able to gain a better understanding of the service that they provide and their recruitment needs/difficulties. A recruitment open day is planned for Adult Services on the 2nd of July, we will be looking to attract Registered Mental Health Nurses and Healthcare Assistant to work on the inpatient wards at the Warneford. Should this prove to be successful we will look at holding them quarterly for Adult Services across the various sites and locations, there will also be discussions with the other Directorates to see if this is an option that would also benefit their recruitment needs.
Casework Data Children & Young Peoples Services: The downward trend continues, with only one new case opened for each of the preceding three Months. Disciplinary cases equate to 3, with 2 Bullying & Harassment cases, capability issues are a combination of ill health and performance. Older People’s Services: Members from the HR team supporting the Older People’s Directorate attended the District Nursing management meeting to up-skill managers in managing sickness absence. The session was well received and will be followed up with more detailed sessions at Operational team meetings. Adult Services : This now includes casework from both Adult and Specialist Services - which are the two services which, historically, have the highest number of employee relations cases. The numbers of cases remain constant for cases per month and progress is being made in investigating and concluding these in a timely way. Corporate Services: We are managing four, formal ill health capability cases which are included on the database.
