NHS Employee Reviews

I worked in one of London’s busiest hospitals during covid and it was eye opening. We learned so much about humanity and empathy but also about working hard. Caring for people and adapting how we cared for them while in PPE was a challenge but it was so rewarding. I loved my NHS job.

Rewarding but pressured

Deputy Manager (Current Employee) - Taunton, Somerset - 4 June 2023

Pay doesn't really reflect the challenges of the role but work with some great people. Current pressures in healthcare make it difficult to feel like you can do a good job.

Fulfilling & Job

Support Worker (Current Employee) - Manchester, Greater Manchester - 1 June 2023

It’s not an easy job, hard work, long hours and sometimes very stressful; however, the job satisfaction at the end of every shift is the best feeling! Knowing you have helped vulnerable patients to discharge!

Good place to work

Peer Support Worker (Current Employee) - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire - 29 May 2023

Good place to work with good teams and frequent supervisions. I think the role is really good too, as you’re not a qualified clinician you’re modelling recovery and sharing your experiences. Peer support is good.
