My Productive and Enjoyable time working with Central London Community Health Care Trust with District Nursing

Team Administrator with District Nursing (Former Employee) - District Nurses at Chelsea and Westminster - 29 May 2022

A typical day at work would start at 09:00 and end at 17:00pmIt would start with a team of 20 Nurses from 3 teams that is Team 1, Team 2 and Team 4.A day would start with allocation of Patients to the Nurses.I learned teamwork and customer care through physical and telephone conversations both awkward and easy scenarios but you end the up managing them well.The workplace would involved daily allocations of clients to the team members and giving feedback at the end of the shifts by each Nurse after the morning shift and the following day another list of clients based on the priority of the cases.The hardest part would be multitasking the roles such as Triaging referrals for 3 Teams Preparing client treatment care plans and other administration roles on the days such as replenishing stocks in the store and receiving stock on the days when they are due but i would handle that by prioritizing the tasks.The most enjoyable part of the job would be when the tasks are met and the clients are served sufficiently.

Great salary and flexibility, poor management and staff behaviours

Employee (Current Employee) - London, Greater London - 30 April 2022

This is an overall good organisation to work for. It is quite frustrating that management is risk averse, often uninspiring and tolerating discrimination. There’s systemic issues which will take a long time to resolve.

Not great.

staff nurse (Current Employee) - West London, Greater London - 25 February 2022

Unsupportive upper management who make decisions without consulting staff or patients. Staff are great but management is aloof...Would not recommend.

Stressful and used as a number

Community staff nurse (Current Employee) - London, Greater London - 2 December 2020

Opportunity for training is behind as you are always short staffed. Management are not understanding and do not listen to personal issues. An unhappy environment for nursing as everyone is a number and everything you have been promised in your interview does not happen.

Pros

Nhs pensions

Cons

Extremely stressful

Enjoyable experience

Community Nurse (Former Employee) - Kingswood - 25 March 2020

My colleagues were collaborative and made the environment an enjoyable one. The care manager who I directly report too, was kind with an open door policy. She is a visionary care manager, who encouraged everyone to learn and develop. The psychologist, is accommodative and always ready to support the team. I enjoy the weekly meetings were cases are discussed

Enjoyable and enriching environment.

Group Facilitator and Carer Support (Former Employee) - Family Therapy Service - 29 November 2019

My role involved working at different sites so met lots of different clients and staff which I enjoyed. I learned how much better life is when you have a job that you enjoy. I was grateful to work with a collaborative, supportive team. The most difficult part of the job was the red tape and box ticking, data input etc but what was the most rewarding for me was observing the progress in the clients.

Avoid

Staff Nurse (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 15 September 2019

Staffing shortages create very stressful work places , little to retain staff once you have joined . Pay office and HR very slow to respond to issues and pass you round and round until you give up . Stressful & frustrating an organisation which blames rather than learns and has little value for the staff on the ground . Promises a great deal but doesn’t deliver.

The interpreting service has now been taken over by private agencies. This was a huge loss for interpreters working with the service. It used to be an efficient and good service provider.
