  Job facts

Although already a top 10 employer to work for we are aiming to make Roche one of the most admired companies to work for in the UK. As a consequence we are rebuilding and repositioning our Recruitment function in our UK division based in Welwyn Garden City.

The main adjustments to the current recruitment offering over the next three years are:

·  Unlocking the full value of the Employee Value Proposition at Roche and the subsequent Employment Brand internally and externally.
·  Where appropriate the harmonisation/introduction of world-class development and selection processes across divisions while reducing current third party assessment costs.
·  Clear line of sight to talent pipelines both internally and externally not only for key and critical positions but for all positions.
·  The introduction of a new candidate management system with full integration to related internal HR systems and processes such as talent management and personal development.
·  Improved partnering with other HR centres of excellence and operations.

The aim being that no position in the company is ever vacant and where the strengths and values of all employees are understood and utilised towards improving patient lives regardless of where they work and what role they fulfill.
