Love working for NHS
Call Handler (Current Employee) - Glasgow - 17 May 2022
I love my job at the NHS but I would like some degree of flexibility to be given for parents of toddlers who don’t have any childcare or are struggling to get childcare.

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.

Stressful bur rewarding
111 Health Advisor (Former Employee) - Remote - 16 May 2022
Rewarding when dealing with patients. Can be stressful. Competitive rate of pay. Remote working advantageous around home work balance. Plenty of work available.

clicky but ok
Domestic Cleaner/Housekeeper (Former Employee) - Bangor, Gwynedd - 16 May 2022
the pay is ok but the people working there are not nice some are ok. management is very poor and biased. the job is very repetitive and boring. The supervisors do not know what they are doing very underappreciated, no team work very individualistic and a lot of preferred treatments to older staff

Outdated systems, lack of opportunity for progression, hiring less qualified individuals and paying them more than others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The NHS is extremely outdated and disorganised and everyone that works there is aware of it but nothing is ever done.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

Money good on night shift .if full time contract you get a good pension

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.

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.

Fun workplace
Everyday you may meet interesting people and your work will make difference to them. But understaffed and underpaid which will have massive impact on your life. Thankfully most of the staff will make you feel confident and supportive.
