Good colleagues and work environment, good progression opportunities for those who want it as well. Would recommend to anyone. Pay is fair and reasonable.

Don’t do the apprenticeship

Nursery Assistant (Current Employee) - Trafford, Greater Manchester - 18 May 2022

No opportunity to progress. Management don’t care about staff. The apprenticeship is so unorganised and once you have completed it there isn’t much opportunity to progress.

Pros

Helping people

Cons

Lots

It was my first serious job

Hospital Porter (Former Employee) - Bedford, Bedfordshire - 16 May 2022

I worked as a hospital porter and it was a great experience, the work is hard alot of walking and pushing heavy gear but the staff are generally nice and as a porter there is a sense of family within the work place and all that goes along with that type of environment

Fair place to work

Manager (Current Employee) - South West - 16 May 2022

It could be worse, the NHS has suffered over the past 2 years with the Covid pandemic. Lots of changes brought in at even faster pace not always enabling staff and teams to keep up

Awful

Staff Nurse (Current Employee) - Yorkshire - 16 May 2022

Poor pay, poor conditions, worked to the bone.More and more responsibility given to staff with no regards for quality of care.Staff are moved around continuously, PIN numbers at risk by working un unfamiliar areas.Patient care is abysmall, you can't do what you need to do as staff ratios have fallen to an unsafe level.

Outdated systems, lack of opportunity for progression, hiring less qualified individuals and paying them more than others

Information Analyst (Former Employee) - Kent - 15 May 2022

The NHS is extremely outdated and disorganised and everyone that works there is aware of it but nothing is ever done. Most of the management were lovely but a few let themselves down, extremely power hungry and can’t stand if people ‘less superior’ to them have an opinion different to theirs. One of my colleagues was told at their exit interview that they don’t have the skillset required to get the job they want and then ended up getting a job in their desired field that paid 10k more and is now thriving. Also a lot of discrepancy between how they pay their staff. Hiring people with degrees plus experience and paying them considerably less than someone with no degree and a lack of experience. Then saying they can’t progress into that higher band until they’ve worked in the department for 2 years, very bizarre. Wouldn’t except any job offered again.

Cons

Pay discrepancy, power hungry managers, disorganised, lack of opportunity for progression

Awful

Domestic Assistant (Former Employee) - Rotherham - 13 May 2022

Over worked, unappreciated. Money rubbish for the amount of work expected from you. Worked on staff residence was vile. So dirty, Worked out backsides off to get clean & tidy to a very high standard to be met with same dirt & grime days later. Cut off from hospital staff, They do not care about the staff up there. I enjoyed cleaning but not worth the tiring hard work as it doesn't get recognised.

Fast pace and some times there's politics with the management and Marton. Marton isn't that friendly at all.

Dental Nurse (Former Employee) - University college london hospital - 13 May 2022

It's very relaxed and good working hours too. Everywhere you go there's always some politics regardless that's how a work environment is. Team members are nice and some are lazy. It's a fast pace work and you do alot for little pay.

Overworked and under paid...

Coordinator (Former Employee) - Leicestershire - 13 May 2022

The pay isn't enough for the amount of stress working here causes - and I don't mean working as a nurse/doctor. - on the administration side. Bear this in mind!

Very stressful at the moment

Administrator (Current Employee) - Brighton, East Sussex - 13 May 2022

There are many opportunities to grow here and the experience that you will gain will be very desirable. The days are very stressful and I do not feel we are paid for how much we work. Especially during the pandemic we have had very little support and funding to adjust to the increased workload.

Pros

Room to grow, excellent CV credentials

Cons

Stressful job and feeling undervalued

Poor pay and management

Medical Secretary (Current Employee) - North West - 13 May 2022

Staff need better salaries and managers need better training. I love almost everything else about my job. The NHS as a whole needs a procurement and recruitment overhaul because both aspects are expensive and poor quality.
