Staffbank
Our in-house Staff Bank covers a range of clinical and non-clinical posts, including nurses, midwives, healthcare assistants, allied health professionals, medical and dental staff, and administrative and clerical staff.
Why work for our Staff Bank?
There are a number of benefits to choosing to work flexible shifts for an NHS staff bank, including:
- Weekly pay and online timesheets, allowing for easier planning and quick access to additional income
- Priority placement over agency workers, meaning you have your pick of available shifts
- Being part of the NHS family and a valued member of the Trust workforce
- Access to the Collaborative N&M and Medical Bank
- Paid annual leave
Bank staff can choose which shifts they want to take on, giving them flexibility when deciding to work days, nights, weekdays or weekends, subject to service requirements.
Who can work on our Staff Bank?
Any healthcare professional can join our Staff Bank. We require all clinical roles to have at least six months’ NHS experience. The flexible shifts available work for a variety of people and circumstances. Some examples include:
- Those who are retired but looking to keep their knowledge current or earn a little extra
