South London And Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust Employee Reviews in Lewisham

It can be stressful, but interesting. Sometimes feels poorly managed but it really depends on your manager and team. Long hours, 12-14 hours. It can be dangerous sometimes.

No support from management

Trainee PWP (Current Employee) - Lewisham, Greater London - 5 June 2023

Working in mental health, there is literally no support from seniors, massive gap between step care. Teams put all in and the senior management expects a lot in return no training and support for staff available.

Cons

Exhausting case load, you will only learn by making mistake and someone telling you off.

Unsupportive management

Ward manager (Former Employee) - Lewisham, Greater London - 26 September 2019

The support given to junior staff from the upper management is very poor and staff are generally underappreciated. There are numerous managers with roles that no one really knows what it is they actually do on a daily basis.

Pros

Colleagues

Cons

Unsupportive and dismissive management system.

A good Hospital and a good place to work and learn

Medical Secretary (Current Employee) - Lewisham, Greater London - 8 November 2018

I have worked at Lewisham NHS for over eight years both in Lewisham Hospital and also Lewisham Community Healthcare. I thoroughly enjoy working at Lewisham Hospital. Although it can be challenging at times and extremely busy Lewisham Hospital is very supportive in staff training, providing a number of courses for staff to do which helps a lot. Lewisham Hospital is very committed to patient care and tries its best to manage the needs of patients. Management are not always supportive and can be hard to contact, workload can be heavy going but overall I enjoy working here. It is a good Hospital, always trying to do well and support all. I would recommend working here, but you have to be dedicated and hard working and prepared to be flexible.

Pros

Learning and commitment to do well

Cons

Workload and management
