We’re proud to announce our partnership with Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, one of the UK’s leading providers of mental health and community services, serving over two million people across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Wiltshire and beyond.

Together, we’ve launched a modern NHS Careers Site that brings the candidate experience to the forefront of talent attraction - designed not just to attract the right people, but to engage and support them from the very first interaction.

Like many Trusts across the NHS, Oxford Health faces mounting pressures: national workforce shortages, rising demand, and an urgent need to compete for talent across sectors. Their previous careers site was not built for talent attraction, lacked accessibility, and offered limited visibility into candidate traffic or application data. It was difficult to navigate, not optimised for mobile, and didn’t reflect the Trust’s values or ambitions.

Our work together directly addresses these challenges. inploi has delivered a fully branded, mobile-optimised digital front end to the Trust’s existing infrastructure, providing a new front end to their ATS. 

Their new careers site features:

  • A map-based job search with location-aware filters

  • Clear, inclusive pathways for different job families

  • Accessible design that supports neurodiverse candidates and those with disabilities

  • Simplified chatbot

  • Real-time analytics to unlock insight into candidate behaviour, conversion rates, and traffic sources

The inploi platform provides a foundation for navigating a fast changing technology landscape e - paving the way for deeper workflow integration and continuous improvement through data-led hiring decisions.

We knew we needed to do more to modernise how we reach and engage future colleagues, especially given the workforce challenges facing the NHS. This partnership has allowed us to reimagine our digital candidate journey in a way that’s inclusive, data-informed, and aligned with the values of Oxford Health. It’s a meaningful step forward not just for our team, but for the people and communities we serve.

- Tara O’Brien, Head of Resourcing, Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust

Oxford Health is  known for its commitment to patient wellbeing, research, and innovation. Their approach to talent is no different. By modernising the hiring journey and unlocking the power of candidate experience, they’re leading the way in addressing the NHS staffing challenges - not through slogans, but through action.

We’re honoured to partner with such a forward-thinking Trust and excited by the road ahead: creating hiring journeys that are more accessible, more efficient, and more aligned to the goals and values of the NHS. This is a first step toward broader transformation, and we look forward to scaling this impact across more Trusts in the months to come.
