Giving our patients the best in psychiatric care

We recognise that to keep giving our patients the best in psychiatric care, we need the best professionals to deliver it. Meeting the needs of our patient's means we have to be flexible with our staff requirements, so we operate a Bank of staff who are themselves flexible to meet the changing requirements and demands.

The people working on our Bank are offered work, which if it meets their availability or life commitments, they complete - and are paid for the hours they actually work.

The roles covered by our Bank include:

• Nursing
• Healthcare
• Reception
• Housekeeping
• Catering
• Admin
• Maintenance

Our Bank staff bring with them experience and relevant qualifications and use their skill and expertise in their chosen field. Often they seek opportunities to extend their experience, fit their availability around their other commitments or simply take shifts to supplement their income. Whatever the reason, they work with us to ensure the services we provide are patient focused and make a difference.

Bank staff accrue holiday based on 20 days per year pro-rated on their working hours. In addition, Bank staff can make pension contributions to a stakeholder pension scheme supported by Partnerships in Care.

Our Staff Bank staff are kept up to date with opportunities that meet their skills and abilities and where we can we plan shifts in advance, although, obviously there are times that we have to make requests with very short notice. All the scheduling and contact is managed by our Bank coordinators who work hard to match Bank staff aspirations and our requirements.

All our Bank staff undergo full induction and have support with their professional development as appropriate. They also have access to the internal 'jobshop' and can apply for permanent roles as appropriate.
