The benefits of working for an NHS staff bank 

If you’ve decided that working flexible shifts is the best option for you, why might you choose to work through a staff bank over an agency? 

There are many benefits to choosing to work at one of the Bank Partners family of trusts. We’ve put together a comprehensive list to highlight the benefits of working for a staff bank. 

Flexible shifts and lines-of-work 

Working temporary shifts at an NHS staff bank is a fantastic option for many, due to their hugely flexible nature. Whether you are looking for something to fit around university, family or other commitments, the opportunities are endless with a staff bank. 

Work where you want, when you want.  

With a dedicated bookings team to support and advise you, it is easy to find the best shifts to suit you in various roles. If you have regular availability, you can choose to work short-term or long-term lines of work with a specific ward or department. For those who already work within the trust, you could choose to take on an extra shift a week within the department you already work in, or choose to try another area of the hospital for new experiences. 

Supportive onsite team 

We have dedicated onsite teams on all our key hospital sites who will be happy to answer any questions you might have. You may see the team around the trust, visiting wards and checking on things. If you ever have any concerns, you can speak to them in person for face-to-face advice and support. 

Weekly pay 

With online timesheets and weekly pay, the staff bank offers a great solution to help support yourself and any family during times when you need extra funds, are saving for a holiday or just looking for a little extra spending money for the weekend. 

Personal development 

You could be gaining experience with new hospitals, wards and departments to help you develop your personal knowledge. Not only this, but at Bank Partners trusts we support all our bank staff with training updates and reminders to help keep your compliance up to date, thanks to our dedicated compliance team. We also have an experienced clinical team on hand to provide guidance and conduct revalidations, appraisals and clinical supervisions, so you can be sure that you always feel confident in your role. 

Priority placement 

One of the key differences of working through a staff bank is that you have priority to choose shifts over an agency worker. Even if the agency worker is already booked into that shift, you can choose to work it if it suits your availability. This allows you to consistently find the best working opportunities on top of enjoying all the benefits agency workers get, such as competitive pay, weekly pay and control over when and where you want to work. 

Be a part of the NHS family 

Now, more than ever, your skills and support are vital to ensuring high levels of care are maintained. By joining a staff bank workforce, you will be working as a crucial part of the NHS family and our staff bank family. We truly value every one of our workers and want to ensure you have the best possible experience working with us. 

With regular incentives, awards and onsite events, our teams are always looking to find ways to make sure you feel our appreciation for the work you do.
