Great team spirit

Indeed featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
Great team dynamics, supported by management. Really enjoyed my time working here. Not much career progression though which was the main reason I moved on

Not so great.

Not worth the money. Underpaid for the risk you are taking. Depends in what ward you are working. But mostly it is a toxic place and staff are not protected there at all.

Supportive line manager

I worked here for a brief 7 months - I had to leave due to personal reasons however I enjoyed my time here, line manager was very good, supportive and understanding. Hours were good and flexible if need to be. If it wasn't for personal reasons I would go back!

Friendly helpful and mostly keen.

I’ve enjoyed working in my current role with the NHS. From interview to date I have felt welcomed and comfortable. I would say take a chance but be sure the field you apply for does actually interest you.

Pros

Canteen and parking

Cons

It took 6 months from my interview to start date.

Good work culture, bad salary and poor staff retention.

Wonderful team to work for. Management is understating and supportive.Unfortunately, salary does not reflect cost of living. As a result of this, a high percentage of nurses turn to agency, which leads to staff shortage and high turn over of staff.

Pros

Good work culture, flexible, good management

Cons

Poor salary, short staffed

Dysfunctional top heavy management

Face less top heavy management. Culturally dysfunctional and punitive.Ward based staff are not important any more. Support departments exist for themselves and many tiers of management which tread on eachother toes. A difficult job made harder

A good place for advancement.

West London is excellent in promoting employees and in helping employees reach their goals.There is diversity of staff in nurses and doctors. I would love to see more minorities in senior psychology positions in the future to help reach a wider demographic of service users and bridge the lack of service users from bame backgrounds engaged in psychology.

Pros

Excellent management.

Cons

No local tube services close to place of work in some areas of the Trust.

poor management, only interested in targets

Management is uninterested in your well being and only interested in targets. they are very robotic and non-empathetic, even rude at times. colleagues are really lovely though but there is a very high turnover not surprisingly. it has got worse in the last two years. I would not recommend it. It was actually detrimental to many of my colleagues mental health and my own

Pros

Great colleagues

Cons

Awful management

Professional and friendly work place.

West London mental health trust is very good organisation for work to gain experience and better future. Management is very good. I have learnt lot things from there. I did some professional training. Multiple cultural people work together, its very interesting to work with them and also know about their culture. Its not hard to work west London mental health trust at all. Most enjoyable part is spending time with elderly people and looking after them.

Pros

Free car parks.

Enjoyed working there but awful treatment of bank staff

I loved working for WLMHT, great place to gain experience and feels as part of a family. However the management of bank staff is horrendous and bank staff are treated very poorly. Would take months to book a shift or contact management regarding training, concerns etc. After numerous attempts of trying to contact them, I decided to leave. This was such a shame as I loved working at the hospital.

Pros

Fantastic work experience

Cons

Treatment of bank staff

Very supportive atmosphere. Good opportunities for training and development. Excellent at being flexible to employee's needs in terms of hours, working from home, etc. May require some travel, depending on role.

I’d love to work there again if the right opportunity were to arise

As above I’d love to work there again if the right opportunity were to arise. The people and structure was good and a great place to work. I really enjoyed working as part of the team and believe that I contributed in moving the business forward

Fast paced

From the time that I have spent working within the NHS I have had a lot of ups and downs, as there was a lot to learn at the start of working here with also having to get used to a working enviroment as this is my first proper job however, now that I have had time to settle I find each day brings a new challenge that I can look forward to.

Pros

None

Cons

Job can be very stressful at times.

Not fun or productive

When I first started I was told there was lots of projects coming up & that I will be busy, within a few weeks my manager started micro-managing me and I have never worked/been treated like that in my whole entire working career. I eventually got frustrated as anyone would I spoke to my manager about his micro-managing and he wasn't very forthcoming. He eventually told me to leave on a weeks notices just a few weeks before Christmas, who does that? and knowing that I am a single mother. I was initially on a 3-6 month contract that didn't even last 3 months.

Terrible place to work

In recent years budget costs have halfed and with this follows staff cuts and appalling management decisions. Staff are constantly under pressure and overworked, with more a more workload added with minimal support from senior management. Most of the time it runs on a skeleton crew, which is just dangerous. High Secure Services cannot be run on minimal budgets.

Pros

Non
