How does the Lead Employer Model work?

All new trainees working under the Lead Employer model will be contacted via our TRAC recruitment system to carry out their pre-employment checks before starting employment at UHDB for the duration of their training. 

Please note, that original document checks are required to complete pre-employment checks, and trainees must attend a face to face appointment, and bring in their original documents to Royal Derby Hospital prior to starting.

Once cleared to work, host trusts will be informed and they will be given the trainee's annual leave allowance based on the length of their NHS service. For more information on annual leave allowances, please visit the NHS Employers website under medical and dental terms and conditions.

The host trust will contact the trainee and issue their work schedules and induction arrangements.

Trainees will start at the host trust as instructed and will not need to carry out any further pre-employment checks, but will need to take their photo identification (ID) for proof of identity (if requested by the host trust).

Trainees will abide by Lead Employer policies at all times and the host trust's codes of practice and guidance.
