NHS Professionals (Bank) selected this as a representative review
I have skills that although not of a medical nature, allow me to support our frontline NHS Heroes! Fast application process, huge team effort. Training provided and humbled to be able to play my part.
Bullying culture Do not follow equality act No room for progression Unfair pay scale Micro managed Senior managers have total disregard for the placement officers No communication Treated like a number
Pros
Work from home
Cons
Too many to list
Shift start times vary per my choice, this makes the work flexible for many professionals with other responsibilities. Many updates on systems and learning through research help to keep you motivated and up to date.No line manager which for me is fine but for many they could feel quite isolated. A 'community hub' on line is the only available source of general contact, however Team Leaders are always available for advice if need and are super supportive.The hardest part of the job was the initial training as there is absolutely to human contact, all on line and took months because of system errors not recognising training had been completed - the most frustrating and unprofessional start to a job. However now finally on board I love it!
Pros
flexible hours working form home
Cons
Minimal team member contact
I always feel that my work is well done, and appreciated, and my manager brings the best out in me . Meet some great work colleagues, helpfull ,understanding can't do enough to help you fit in ,team players, professional, happy work place .
Pros
Work in team environment
Cons
Hard at work at time's working on the front line
Easy to book shifts when you are available good rates of pay ( weekly)Various areas of work makes it interesting and able to develop more caring skills
Pros
Flexible
Cons
None
I would have liked to have had more work but as the hours worked reasonably I was content. I would have liked to have worked in other areas to understand the running of the hospital. Knowledge of this would always be helpful.
Pros
Flexibility
Cons
More choice and insight into other connected departments
Productive and fun place to work with the advantage of learning something new every shift And the staff really show support in letting you learn something
Great for nurses to have flexibility but as ever NHS nursing underpaid and appreciated. I used this job to pick up extra hours from my permanent job in the hospital.
Good work but no opportunity to progress. My other qualifications not made use of,Very hard to book training and why I left.Booking shifts easy, sometimes had to travel far for work.
Pros
easy booking
Cons
training very hard to obtain
Enjoyed to work here. More support and proud to work for this company. Staff being treated by respect and dignity. Equal treatment for all. I will recommend this company. Very friendly manegerial staff
Pros
Good training and support
Cons
None
After doing all was asked, paperwork all handed in i started my job. It was going alright until i was pestered for vaccinations, if they cared to read my paperwork they would have found out i had, had them. Then it was the online courses, if i didn't do them i was told i would not get a start date, i had already started. If your manager at wherever you are working didn't put your hours on the Nhs professionals site you would not get paid. So most of the time you had to tell your manager your hours worked which i think is rediculous in this day and age.
Pros
Free cakes, sweets, tea, coffee, crisps.
Cons
Not paid on time.
Poor communication unprofessional trust not equipped with laptop for bank poor handover I left as it was a unsafe for bank workers, I didn’t feel supported
Pros
None
Cons
Poor communication
I thoroughly enjoyed the variety working on different wards and with different types of people. There was usually lots of support from co-workers. Ki
Pros
Always lots of available shifts and usually great people to work with
Cons
No cons really once struggled to get a shift signed off. It took 3 months?
It's a good system... Most wards are rude to you when you are new which is standard practice in this field
Pay is good.
Competitive to get shifts especially at weekends
NHSp are extremely political and sometimes far too black and white
Pros
Flexible
Cons
Politics
No support or integration with anyone at this company - impossible to contact and very little response to any questions - not a well thought out job role or number of applicants and shifts available
Worked for them for five years never had.any complaints about my work they are.very helpful on the phone the keep you updated on your course very happy with them just won't a job.chage
Pros
Get paid on time
Cons
Not.allways work.at the moment
Been at nhs professionals for over 5 years loved my job and my work friends i still have contact with them, i am a hard worker love my job and role take pride in my line off duty easy too follow orders and love sharing my view im am very caring and very hands on.
Pros
Work flexible.
Cons
Holiday pay.
So i worked here as an Recruitment Advisor on the Bank being told that I'm needed for a long time only to be greeted with a manager who doesn't know what she is doing half the time, Bullies certain people she dislikes and tries to get them fired very unprofessional how it works, Then to be fired with a weeks notice as they can't afford to keep staff on which is rubbish as they are a multi-million even Billion pound company would not recommend working here
Pros
Paid Weekly
Cons
No Job Security and Poor Management
Some Trusts still have a few problems to iron out,especially Mental Health Trusts.In the elderly dementia wards, many bank only staff turn up in jeans and trainers of all shades..most dress codes are not adhered to which is disrespectful .
Pros
MyTrusts are good with staff taking breaks..
Cons
Having to pay for car park fees.
Having previously worked from home I thought this job would be ideal for me and my family. The training was fantastic but the actual hours and job was so stressful you didn’t get help easily from management. Doesn’t help that other departments don’t support you as the front line staff. Very stressful left after 5 months
Pros
Home working, nhs benefits
Cons
No support at all from management
Great place to work. Enjoyed my time at NHSP. My experience with NHSP has been awesome ! I have worked in various roles with NHSP and enjoyed every bit of it.
