Welcome to Isle of Wight Trust Staff Bank

A big welcome to the Isle of Wight Trust Staff Bank.

At Bank Partners, our aim is to make sure that it’s easy for you to work flexible shifts in a supportive, professional environment. We’ve included below some key information that you might find useful as you start your journey with us.

Booking and working shifts

Allocate Loop

The Trust publishes and shares available bank shifts via the app Loop. Please use your current credentials to log in and book shifts. If you require support, please contact the Trust Rostering Team directly on 02394 354 299 or pho-tr.rosteringteam@nhs.net.

Cancelling a shift

We understand that circumstances can change, and you may occasionally need to cancel a scheduled work shift. To ensure a smooth and efficient process, please follow the procedures below:

More than three days’ notice:
If you need to cancel your shift with more than three days’ notice, please complete our online cancellation form. This form collects all the necessary information so we can process your cancellation promptly and accurately.

Less than three days’ notice:
If you need to cancel your shift within three days of the scheduled date, please contact our Bookings Team directly. You can reach them by calling 0333 577 3316 between the hours of 6am – 10pm. The Bookings Team will assist you with processing the last‑minute cancellation and ensuring a smooth transition.

It is important to notify the Bookings Team as soon as possible so they can make the necessary adjustments to the schedule and attempt to find a suitable replacement. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in following this guideline.

Flexibility when working

As with all NHS Staff Banks, you may be asked by the Trust to work in a different setting on occasions to the one which you have booked. This will always be with patient safety in mind, and we appreciate your flexibility and understanding.

Keeping patients safe

Stay within the 48-hour weekly limit

To protect your wellbeing and stay compliant with the Working Time Directive, please ensure your total working hours average no more than 48 hours per week over any Monday–Sunday period, typically calculated across a 17-week reference period.

If you wish to opt out of the Working Time Directive please contact our team.
