Nhs
Midwife (Current Employee) - London, Greater London - 30 June 2022
Very fast paced place to work. Unsociable hours as part of contract as a midwife. Pay is not reflective of the amount of work that we do but there are plenty of opportunities for career progression if you take the chance.

Unsupported
Nurse (Current Employee) - Lothian - 29 June 2022
Band 7’s give little support and not visible to staff. Spend day in the office and not interested in staff. Complaints not taken serious and issues with equipment ignore and not escalated.

Great place to work
Call Handler, Single Point of Access (Current Employee) - Bradford, West Yorkshire - 29 June 2022
I have found the NHS an excellent place to work. The wage could be a little better, but you are given job security and a good work life balance. Management here is very good - they really take an interest in their staff and constantly strive for improvement. I would recommend working for the NHS.

Totally rewarding
Team Support Worker (Clinical) (Current Employee) - Stockton-on-Tees - 29 June 2022
The hardest job I’ve ever done emotionally but the reward of helping people in their darkest hour and working with great people is great and although some days can be long and stressful the good days outweigh the bad
Pros
Making a difference
Cons
Long hours

Great employer overall
Dental Nurse/Receptionist (Current Employee) - Scotland - 28 June 2022
NHS is generally an ok employer. Depending on what Band you are. Time off is good and great perks such as sick pay, maternity pay etc. can be long hours at times

No support from Management
Receptionist/Administrator (Former Employee) - East Midlands - 28 June 2022
Difficult job during the pandemic. Management unsupportive. The pay is not reflective of job's responsibilities. There is high staff turnover. Blame culture.

Don't go through agency
IT Analyst (Former Employee) - United Kingdom - 28 June 2022
Initially I was going to write a good review, then next bit happened. Worked in IT department via agency, they said the contract was secure for 3 months, next i get a call saying I was no longer required. On top of that management were fairly respectable towards colleagues and I learned a lot, on the bad side they said to understand you need training and they we'rent prepared to do it. Management kicked off for being stressed and laid off contractors cos they couldn't bothered.

Free lunches
Cons
Long hours

Great workplace!
Clerical Administrator (Current Employee) - Northampton, Northamptonshire - 24 June 2022
I’ve worked a little in the private sector and working for the NHS imo has really good benefits, better than private for me. Excellent amount of holidays given each year, flexibility around childcare and working from home. Overall I feel very job secure working for the NHS.

Too many Fixed term contracts
Administrator (Former Employee) - North Lanarkshire - 24 June 2022
no job security as its just extensions of Fixed Term contracts. Management dont seem to be sure of their own processes which makes training and asking questions difficult.

Awful management
Finance Assistant (Former Employee) - Runcorn - 23 June 2022
Absolutely no help or support from management , afraid to ask for help as they have showed you once so you should know it inside out. Horrible place , if your face fits your ok, if it doesn’t , you will be talked about. Avoid with all costs unless you want to end up Ill.

Usual NHS job
Nurse (Former Employee) - Northamptonshire - 21 June 2022
Usual NHS job, long hours but respectful managers. Under paid of course but that's not a surprise, nurses are undervalued in general. Organised chaos. Great team.

Could be better
111 Health Advisor (Former Employee) - Wakefield - 21 June 2022
The workplace wasn’t too bad, however, if your face fits you’ll get favouritism over the other people who work twice as hard. There is no problem solving either. If someone has an issue with you the managers just tell you to keep away from each other. There’s hardly any recognition either.
Pros
Good pay
Cons
You’re expected to work 3 weekends of out 4

Excellent job security
Physician Associate (Former Employee) - UK - 20 June 2022
Great organization with excellent job security. Each day gave me an opportunity to learn something new in the field of medicine. Patients experienced high wait times. However, staff did try their best to alleviate this challenge by going above and beyond to ensure patient satisfaction.
