Jobs at West London NHS Trust
Not so great.
Health Care Assistant (Former Employee) - Crowthorne, Berkshire - 7 July 2023
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!

Insights into West London NHS Trust
What people like
- Feeling of personal appreciation
- Overall satisfaction
- Clear sense of purpose
Good work culture, bad salary and poor staff retention.
Community Psychiatric Nurse (Current Employee) - London, Greater London - 19 October 2022
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.
Senior Practitioner (Former Employee) - London - 13 October 2021
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.

Not recommend
Health Care Assistant (Former Employee) - Isleworth - 6 October 2021
Management no matter how much effort you put in they are quick to throw you under the bus I wouldnt recommend working here. Nurses don't help the HCA's and have a habit of ignoring call bells.
Pros
None
Cons
Long hours too many people willing to stab you in the back

poor management, only interested in targets
IAPT therapist (Former Employee) - Ealing, Greater London - 5 July 2021
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.
Domestic Assistant (Former Employee) - London - 30 January 2021
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
Healthcare facilitator (Former Employee) - Crowthorne - 23 January 2021
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

Not fun or productive
Contracts Officer (Former Employee) - Southall, Greater London - 27 February 2020
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.
