Hard work but lovely staff and colleagues. They made an effort to include everyone even though we were all remotely working from home.Lots to do but I left as the role wasn't challenging enough.

Insights into NHS Digital

Based on 4 survey responses

Areas for improvement

Clear sense of purpose
Trust in colleagues
Sense of belonging

A great diverse and inclusive workplace culture

Business and Operational Delivery Suppirt (Former Employee) - Leeds - 1 February 2022

A great place to work, friendly and supportive, with lots of opportunities. Uses all the latest hi tech equipment. Promotes smart working/ work anywhere approach. Systems are fairly user friendly and not too complex. A great environment in modern offices. I would say the only downside is they have moved to a new location which is a bit further away from the town centre location.

Pros

Lots of different opportunities.

Cons

Location on the edge of town.

Favouritism, Poor Management & wastage

Junior Project Manager (Current Employee) - Leeds - 10 November 2021

Poor management and indecisiveness of these largely overpaid managers lead to constant changes and mistakes. They are unable to make decisions and often lie to dig themselves out of holes. They put needless pressure on staff.Their favouritism leads people being promoted to high salary management positions or simply the wrong positions. It causes disharmony, de-motivation and good staff leaving.The above to points leads to an excessive amount of wasting tax payers money which could be better spent. Also your hard work is wasted.

Pros

Do what ever you want at tax payers expense

Cons

wasting your skils, also your time and your efforts.

Worked In IT

2nd Line Support Analyst (Former Employee) - Exeter, Devon - 30 July 2021

Working with some of the most cutting edge technologies. Loads of support from other senior members and mangers. Managers and directors always kept staff up to date with what was going on in the business. Your working equipment, ie laptop/Surface Pro and mobile phones where always top of the line as was all the software we used. This was done so other NHS departments could ask what was best for them to purchase.

Pros

Worked at other NHS Digital locations around the country as well as leading other NHS trusts

Cons

Just need to remember that you are being paid by out of public funds

Fine if you work for a consultancy

Technical Support (Former Employee) - Leeds, West Yorkshire - 25 July 2020

Mass redundancy of technical staff for The consultancy’s owners who are friends of the CEO, a very London centric organisation if you value your mental health stay away from this company. A very middle class organisation they treat working class people like rubbish.

Get paid on time.

Lack of progression, shocking business practices.

An enjoyable Experience

IT Procurement (Temp) (Former Employee) - Leeds, West Yorkshire - 27 May 2020

The NHS has to follow strict procurement procedures which are meant to save money but actually cost more than any savings they might create and they are time consuming and onerous. But if you can accept these constraints then the NHS is a good organisation to work for.

Was a great organisation but now going downhill fast

Business & Op Delivery Admin (Current Employee) - Leeds - 16 August 2018

The CEO is taking the organisation through great changes at the moment including large amounts of redundancies. The culture has changed dramatically over the last 18 months and morale is really low. This has been exacerbated by the redundancy programmes that are being brought in threatening all bands and all locations - including closing down two locations completely.

Subpar Management

Some people are understanding and helpful but very rarely.

Pros

None existent management, treatment of staff, progression is questionable...

Great employer

Programme Manager - Benefits Realisation (Current Employee) - Reading, Berkshire - 11 May 2018

A great employer that offers job security and good work/life balance flexibility. NHS Digital implements a wide range of programmes and projects which in turn offers staff varied job opportunities. As in most public sector organisations things do move a little slowly but the organisational culture is relaxed, inclusive, diverse but focused.

Pros

Location flexibility includind working from home

Cons

Most activity is based Leeds HQ which means frequent travel

Bureaucratic and complex

Like many organisations it suffers from a too many layers of management, too many contractors, ever changing processes and a lack of clear objectives. This can lower morale and lead to high turnover.

Pros

Flexible working

Cons

Bureaucracy
