It is a fast paced and rewarding place to work.Depending on what department you work in can depend on if you advance in your career. Time not always available to do e learning.

Reception/admin (Former Employee) - YGC - 8 August 2021

Poor management. Management would allow employees to bully & manipulate other members of staff. Office gossip would be allowed. Gossip provided my the manager themselves. No help with regards to workload. My mental health has been seriously affected. Sooner I leave the better.

Pros

Good holiday scheme & good sick pay

Cons

No support from management.

Excellent employer

Awful place

Research Nurse (Former Employee) - Glan Clwyd Hospital - 29 July 2020

Bullying culture in certain departments, not all. Senior management not interested in the staff. Research department at Glan Clwyd Hospital is best avoided, seriously clicky environment. Not good for the mental health.

Pros

Wards are busy but ok

Cons

Long shifts not good on such busy wards

Poor regard and practice for patient safety and quality assurance

Highly Specialist Cardiac Physiologist (Former Employee) - Community -North Wales - 20 May 2020

This is a review for the role I had in a Community based Diagnostic service - After working for 11 years and helping in the development of an excellent service, I left in 2019 due to refusal of management to take action regarding the further development of a non quality assured diagnostic service which was putting the lives of Gwynedd & Anglesey patients at risk. Poor communication and constructive dismissal was attempted following 10 years of being a key Lead in the Service. I was employed to work in Gwynedd & Anglesey, but ended up working in Denbighshire & Wrexham areas due to a new employee who had been employed for this region - deciding 6 months later it was not convenient.

Mental health nurse

RMHN (Former Employee) - Wrexham, Wrexham - 18 August 2019

Nepotism is rife.. bullying is an everyday occurrence. Managers don’t manage, they manipulate; they recruit their friends, family and people they’ve been intimate with to ensure they’re untouchable. The most unprofessional managers I’ve ever had the unfortunate disadvantage of working for. My advice would be to stay well clear of mental health in BCUHB. Here’s to another five years in special measures with these clowns running the show.

Pros

There are job opportunities to get out of mental health

Cons

Bullies everywhere

worth while work for those in care

Catering (Current Employee) - Bangor - 31 May 2019

working in the hospital kitchen is a change from working in a busy restaurant but it doesn't mean the tasks are any easier. keeping the kitchen to a satisfactory standard in keeping with environmental health and management expectations. keeping up with the serving of the food for the patients can be a challenge as each meal is of course different and focusing on the details per order to be sure the patient gets what they need and want in a timely manner.

On my feet all day

Bad place

Theatre Support Worker (Former Employee) - Bangor - 11 June 2018

Really bad management, no support what so ever. Managers seem to encourage the bullies by giving them promotions. If your face doesnt fit your job is not safe. Worst care setting i have ever worked in.

Nothing

Management and bullies

Endoscopy Nurse

Endoscopy Nurse (Former Employee) - Wrexham, Wrexham - 8 May 2018

Very fast pace, lovely team to work with and very supportive. It is a lovely role to add to your CV, as you are not only assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating patient care, you are learning new valuable skills that are not learnt on a ward. You will learn venepuncture, cannulation, assisting in taking biopsies, managing bleeds and emergencies, change of PEG's and plenty more.
