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

Insights into West London NHS Trust
What people like
- Feeling of personal appreciation
- Overall satisfaction
- Clear sense of purpose
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.

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.

Not too good
Receptuonist (Current Employee) - London - 2 February 2020
It’s good to work for nhs but the salary is not good. After paying my rent and bills I left with nothing.
That’s why am looking for another job.
At my age i should be just be working with one job. But life is hard for me,
Even some times i finds it hard to pay my bills.

Productive and educative
Staff Nurse (Former Employee) - Broadmoor and London Bank - 13 February 2019
My work experience depended on that trust I give thumbs up for everything they provided me as they are one of the lucky trusts with a high secure hospital which is bonus and a great place to work and learn at the same time.

diverse and challenging
Assistant Psychologist (Former Employee) - London - 14 January 2019
great opportunities for development and challenges to overcome, and Quality Improvement. There was a real shared sense of the problems in the organisation and a culture to change this. However, the funding was always at stake and it was unclear about this and it made working a challenge, especially in mental health. It also had a pretty outdated IT system!

Poor management and wellbeing
CBT Therapist (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 31 March 2018
Obsessed with data and targets. Don’t care about staff. Management is inconsistent and huge staff turnover. There is nowhere to go with issues.
Good training opportunities. Nice people.
Poor operations and nowhere to remedy.
Pros
Training, colleagues
Cons
Management, targets, wellbeing

Effective and good team-working with good sense of humour always present.
Support Worker Mental Health (Current Employee) - London-Ealing - 6 July 2017
Always busy with often limited staff and big case load, however great teamwork always ensuring patients are all attended to within the shortest possible time of their referral.
Good and effective management, however, things can be difficult when there are short of staff and one person have to carry out about ten visits.
It is always fulfilling to see someone gets better with a treatment plan.
Pros
Often free lunches are provided by Manager and other birthday gifts giving
Cons
Staff retainment are often a challenge, due to pay freeze
