All medical staff was great to work with was fun to work there hours was god but could have been more flexible some mangers was above their station and the power went to their heads other than it was a great place to work
Bad culture among exec team, stressful working environment at lower band levels staff not collaborative colleagues unhappy and strong bullying culture quite hard to cope.
Pros
If you have a child nursery in the site available
Cons
The work place, environment and bad culture allowing for bullying behaviour
Amazing. Highly supportive & trusting manager. Job interesting & moved around campuses a lot. Got stuck in with various jobs & liaison activities. Could be very quiet or very busy so at times challenging but used quiet times to catch up before lecture deadlines! I was in a small office but surrounding & other campus staff mostly helpful and welcoming. Learned so much & did additional MS Office courses. Freedom around my working hours.
Pros
Training, Support, Flexible, varied and hands on
Cons
Was only a contract :( Not able to stay
I joined the trust as a MDT Co ordinator and then went onto work in a variety of Bank positions picking up some good knowledge on how a busy hospital works. Dependent on your role you could be working with patient data, dealing with patients face to face/over the phone or providing administration support to clinical staff. You can always expect to be busy.
Pros
Working a varied day and meeting many different people.
Cons
Long commute home if train services cancelled/delayed
Kings college hospital is a very busy the phones do not stop ringing referrals continue to come into the office. Staff are great and helpful.
Management are always there to support you if you have any problems
Very poor management. Lazy staff could get on with their customs...Every time I have raised a concern about some staff members I felt like it was just brushed behind the door.
it was good I am enjoying to work there team are brilliant management helpful only sometimes patient relatives make stressful situation but still manageable
We want to help you find great companies. Help us be the best!
Do these reviews help you learn more about working at King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust?
I worked there as volunteer twice, environment is friendly and helpful.
Would love to have a proper job in this hospital. Easy accessible by transport.
KCH is a great place to work as everyone is friendly and ready to help with any questions or queries you may have. To progress you will need to apply for another role as that is the best route.
Great place to work specially if you enjoy helping people. the hours are great, staff friendly, good work life balance, good opportunities to progress in your career.
Good place to work for but most management here is hit and miss. The hours can be long depending where you work, but there is usually a lot of flexibility which is great.
MY typical day at work is a tedious one where you use computer to extract all the consultant appointment on weekly basis, using PIMS system and electronic data management. I print all the clinic report a week ahead of the appointment. Using my numerical knowledge, I will convert the number that is assessible through our network where the notes are culled and sent to consultants. The ones that cannot be fetched can be search through EDM and requested which reaches us in a day or two from the storage located outside the office and sent to us. These notes are prepped within a week and readily available for consultation to KINGS college, Princess royal, Orpington hospital, Queen Mary Sidcup and Beckenham beacon hospital and other subsidiary hospitals. The hardest part of the job is culling the notes from the library where you have to rack and get them from their numerical orders. The most enjoyable part of it is putting in the necessary information in the system before sending them out. I also handle incoming calls from all these hospital and secretary calls, if the notes are not received on time by the due date and sending off urgent notes for emergencies and prepping them before sending them off to their various department
Pros
None
Cons
sometimes overtime
It was a very good workplace to do the staff are very friendly and you met all different kinds of people with different aspects of life
Pros
Free lunch
Cons
Long hours
Never a day that is the same as the last, with a crazy busy ED and massive out patients clinic, and almost 1000 inpatient beds, radiology was kept running at full speed all the time.
No departamento do hospital onde eu trabalhava Ă©ramos cerca de 45 funcionários entre: enfermeiros, doutores, auxiliares, cirurgiĹŤes e gerĂŞncia de 16 paĂses diferentes. Uma verdadeira babilĂ´nia onde todos nĂłs nos entendĂamos. Aprendi muito sobre o quĂŁo forte o corpo humano pode ser, porem, nĂŁo somos invencĂveis. Fiz muitos amigos de vários cantos do planeta. Cuidei de muitos pacientes difĂcil, rir e chorei com eles. A cultura da empresa Ă© boa, o ambiente de trabalho, as vezes, tenso era muito agradável. Mas depois de 16 anos resolvi deixar Londres. Por isso que sai.
Pros
35 dias de feiras incluindo dias de feriados.
Cons
Ficar sob aviso. Noites e finais de semanas.
Good environment in which to work but so troubled by poor management that development and growth is poor. Short sighted people development, rather lose staff than work hard to keep them. Lots of meetings to discuss issues but little done about them. Top heavy management but no true leadership. Many lovely people working there. Transport network good, parking not so good but available, hospital shuttle between sights. Nice area, heavy population. Could be a really great hospital but neglected by the KCHUFT
Pros
Nice environment, good transport, people
Cons
Kings CH Foundation Trust, not best employers
Management top heavy with limited long term planning
Sadly senior management does not engage well with the staff nor does it encourage or empower the staff to take pride in working for the organisation
