North Staffordshire GP Federation provides a comprehensive employment service on behalf of NHS Primary Care Networks (PCNs), acting as the employing organisation for a range of PCN-funded roles.
The Federation manages the full employment process, enabling PCNs to focus on delivering high-quality patient care while ensuring all employment responsibilities are professionally and compliantly managed.
Our service includes:
- Holding employment contracts on behalf of participating PCNs.
- End-to-end recruitment and onboarding processes.
- Completion of all pre-employment checks, including right to work, DBS, references, occupational health and professional registration verification.
- Employment compliance monitoring and record management.
- Payroll administration, pension processing and statutory payments.
- Management of employment policies and procedures in line with NHS and employment legislation requirements.
- Provision of HR advice and support for managers and employees.
- Management of employee relations matters, including absence, performance, disciplinary and grievance processes.
- Ongoing workforce administration, contract management and employment support.
By providing a centralised employment model, North Staffordshire GP Federation helps PCNs reduce administrative burden, mitigate employment risk and ensure a consistent, high-quality experience for both staff and employers.
Whilst our current employment service is offered predominantly for Primary Care Networks, we are also experienced in supporting employment in other organisations such as the Staffordshire GPN Foundation School.
