Wouldn't recommend at all
Clerical Officer (Former Employee) - Bolton - 7 October 2021
Been here for 5 years or so, working with colleagues is really good but have to watch out as some can snitch over you when you say the smallest thing. Workload is absolutely terrible and the pay isn't worth what you do there. You're doing 2/3 people's jobs and pay is bad, when you wish to escalate matters as its too stressful, nothing gets done. There are people who are on band 3 that do less work than what I've done and the workload is very similar. You can kiss your sorry backside goodbye if you think you can progress in career there. Overall I wouldn't recommend working there at all due to poor management and pay isn't as good as what people make it out to be. They will look at one fault and make it into a big issue rather than the 99 good you did. No recognition whatsoever.
Pros
Colleagues helping out
Cons
Management, workload

Leeds NHS Trust
Trainee Nursing Associate (Former Employee) - Bradford - 18 September 2021
During my career I have worked with 5 NHS trusts across the region if West Yorkshire. If you genuinely cared about people and want to improve their lives and health, don’t waste your time working for the NHS. The overall culture is reminiscent of a primary school playground.
Pros
You have ‘NHS employee’ status
Cons
Long hours, bullying culture, poor patient care, short staffed, poor salary etc.

Dependant on department
Health Care Assistant (Current Employee) - Worcester - 30 August 2021
Can be long hours depending on which ward you are working on. Matrons and sisters are fantastic - understanding, reliable and caring and good managers can spot weaknesses and strengths. Some nurses lack ability and are put in charge where they are not viable for the task. Where as others really shine like stars.
Pros
Nhsp
Cons
Long hours

GP (Current Employee) - Carnforth, Lancashire - 20 August 2021
As above . I have been a GP for 20 years. It has been a very rewarding Good management locally and nationally affects the experience of NHS staff, but the basics of a doctors job will essentially remain the same.

Stressful conditions.
MDT Administration Officer (Former Employee) - SJUH - 15 August 2021
Working at the Leeds Trust during the pandemic was not a happy experience due to a lack of staff and unrealistic expectations by the management. This led to a stress related illness and my inability to continue in that role. There was no counseling available the only support available was through the GP at the time .I subsequently discussed this experience within the Trust and believe that it could be a factor as to why a subsequent job interview was unsuccessful.
Pros
Flexi time working
Cons
Long hours and no working from home

Reasonable pension

No management support

Good organisation to work for
Team Manager (Current Employee) - Oxford, Oxfordshire - 9 August 2021
Excellent organisation, training and development opportunities are supported. There are interesting initiatives to support professional development. The trust offers good incentives to new staff but not to retain existing staff.

Intensive work load but if a can do attitude will enjoy work.
Housekeeper (Former Employee) - Hospital Blackburn - 5 August 2021
Enjoyed my time in the hospital.The work load can be quite intense, but if in a good team can be enjoyable.You must be a good team worker and also have the confidence to work solo. Depending on which department you work in Management can be very supportive and approachable, i had fantastic Management backup.
Pros
Safe work place and job security
Cons
Long hours, intensive work load.
