This is an exciting opportunity for the Trust to work with hospital planning experts to configure and co-locate services to not only reflect the current needs of our population, but also looking to future needs and reflecting potential future developments in clinical care and technology. It is predicted the new hospital build will be ready by 2030. We are part of the Yorkshire Imaging collaborative which is an ambitious project to align imaging services across the region.

ClientHead of Medical Workforce, NHS Partnership Trust

We have used Kaizen Recruitment on several occasions to assist with finding the very best possible candidates and have always been very pleased with the service offered. There was delay with payment from our side, due to administrative error but the team at Kaizen were very understanding and supportive.

ClientBusiness Support Manager, NHS Foundation Trust- North West

Kaizen Recruitment have been really helpful in recruiting for this organisation. We have worked well in recruitment for posts in ED in particular. When we appointed four registrars from outside of the EU we had to go through the GMC SELR process to get them registered.

I'm delighted to share my positive experience with Mia Maybury from Kaizen Recruitment. As soon as I completed my FRCR, I was approached by multiple recruiting agencies who asked for my CV. But what truly set Mia apart was she knew exactly what role fit me just by having a quick conversation with me.
