Temporary and Bank Work
Temporary staff play a vital role in ensuring high standards of patient care are maintained. This means that our temporary workers are highly valued.
Our temporary staff are called Bank Staff. Bank Staff refers to a pool of people that we can call on when we need to cover shifts, holidays or just need extra staff as and when.
You can choose the shifts you want to take on, giving you a great deal of flexibility when deciding to work and which days. Shifts cover a variety of times and can be days, evenings, and nights during weekdays and at weekends.
As a member of our Staff Bank Register you decide where you work, what you do and how much, in line with your qualifications and training. It’s your choice and you’re in control.
