NELFT Attract 45 AHP's Through Collaboration With Just R in First 3 Months
North East London Foundation Trust’s most recent collaboration with Just R sees a greater focus on attracting to their Allied Health Professional workforce, with Children, Adult and Mental Health Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists being a main focal point due to the higher vacancy levels across NELFT’s localities.
NELFT employs over 900 Allied Health Professionals across 11 professions, who play a vital role within the Trust and account for around 15% of their workforce.
The current campaign has drawn enquiries of interest from 45 AHPs in just 12 weeks.
The Trust’s existing and familiar Employer Brand has a huge part to play in this, with Just R and NELFT having collaborated on a frequent basis over the last 5 years on building a strong and trusted brand, delivering high impact digital marketing campaigns, and building a bespoke recruitment website.
