We’re seeking an experienced New Entrant Retention Lead to play a pivotal role in improving retention, confidence and early‑career success for newly appointed healthcare practitioners within Health Assessment and Advisory Services (HAAS).
Operating within a highly regulated healthcare environment, you’ll take ownership of the end‑to‑end new entrant retention framework—spanning pre‑start, onboarding, training and early independent practice. Using insight, data and evidence‑based interventions, you’ll identify attrition risk points and design targeted solutions that reduce early leaver rates while enhancing practitioner experience and wellbeing.
Working in close partnership with operational, clinical and people leaders, you’ll act as a trusted advisor—coaching and influencing managers to spot disengagement risks early, hold meaningful retention‑focused conversations, and balance performance, wellbeing and governance requirements. You’ll develop practical toolkits, guidance and training to build management capability, while coordinating tailored support for high‑risk individuals and cohorts.
You’ll also own early‑career retention insight and reporting, tracking trends, evaluating intervention impact and highlighting emerging risks to senior leaders. Throughout, you’ll ensure all activity aligns with clinical governance, contractual obligations and regulatory standards, embedding continuous improvement across the new entrant journey.
This is a remote role, offering flexibility and autonomy, with occasional travel to office locations as required to meet business needs.
About you:
You’ll bring significant experience in healthcare or another highly regulated environment, a deep understanding of early‑career challenges, and a proven ability to influence without formal authority. Calm, credible and outcomes‑focused, you’ll be motivated by making a meaningful difference to practitioner experience and long‑term workforce sustainability.
If you’re passionate about early‑career support and want to shape retention strategy at scale, this is an opportunity to make real, lasting impact.
