Although the manager was rigid and unkind, my initial team was great,  very supportive in a demanding work environment. Manager showed zero trust in the team to do their work independently.
Micromanaged to the extent of changing departments.

2nd role...no clear induction or training plan. Both team and management very unhelpful...hostile environment to work in.
Sticking it out as have family to feed.

The trust does not live up to its values with their employees.
Steer clear if you value your mental health.

Spent many years building my career from band 3 to 7. 

Low retention rates

Rely on Agency/Bank but cannot afford to keep them. 

Slated for my quick progression

Slated for completing courses to improve my ability to maintain high service delivery 

Bullied by senior staff

Being a student here was even worse. I had a breakdown and nearly quit nursing for good.

AFC doesn’t reflect the employee’s skill set 



Normalised that lack of staff means doing the jobs of 3 staff members for the pay of one for long periods of time. Favourites of management don't have to put in as much effort and have separate expectations and rules as they get longer breaks and don't have to do as much. Very cliquey. Being good at your job means they'll expect and rely on you to do everything for nothing. Concerns are never looked into. Worsens your mental and physical health. Not really worth it overall. Is not a reflection of the whole trust but probably specific departments. 

Having the opportunity to do agency and work in a few trusts I can 100% confirm this is one of the best Trusts I have ever worked for. Its not always rosy but management works out what's best for most and that's a good thing. Am sad that I will be leaving due to relocation and not keen to go into any other trust so scared and sad. Loved working for OUH. Trust me its one of the best in comparison to how NHS trusts have become or my department was just brill

For such a large trust, senior management are actually remarkably cliquey, had a few jobs within this trust and progression is dependent on your face fitting, no exceptions. Some divisions are also notorious for downbanding staff but expecting them to provide additional skills with no renumeration. This trust treats their staff worse than any other trust I’ve ever worked at. 2 stars only because staff within teams and across departments are generally kind to each other. 

I learnt nothing, you are expected to run round like a ‘Skivvy’ the work is very hard and The Manager is condescending and sarcastic. It’s very pressuring, We were for most of the time working like dogs to keep up with the amount of Deceased coming in from the Hospital and Community. There was nothing enjoyable about this place, the Manager’s attitude sucked regarding being organised… more like havoc! at here is ‘blame culture’ here and a favouritism! 

A typical day at work: hectic 
What you learnt: you don't have to be the best in your work to be promoted but to befriend the managers. Being a foriner could be a huge disadvantage.
Management: looking after themselves and their friends and treating unfairly anybody else.
Work place culture: badly shaped by the management.
The hardest part of the job: to experience all of the above.
The most enjoyable part of the job: there may not be such a thing.

The department is supportive and friendly, fostering a positive working environment. However, there is a need for a refresh in leadership to enhance direction and efficiency. Additionally, pharmacists are increasingly being diverted to dispensary duties, reducing their capacity for clinical tasks, which may impact patient care.

My position required me to be over 3 campuses and 4 radiology departments.
I was an interim ops manager for 9 months and  my contract was renewed twice.

This was a temporary position and I would really of liked it to have become permanent but unfortunately it was for maternity cover.The people that I worked with treated me very well, the hours suited me 8.00am - 4.00pm and the salary was good
