Most student nurses I know are encouraged to enlist and work for NHS Professionals. They allow flexible working - I understand you can work hours to suit as a Healthcare Assistant during your nurse training (albeit you may be in something similar)

I think you just have to find out your Uni lecture days, and then placement commitments but little or no Summer break whilst training can be a pain.

I hope you're well. I am a 3rd year student midwife, I left my part-time job when I first started at uni as I couldn't manage juggle them both, including the fact that my uni/placement rota and work rota clashed. I would advise you to have a discussion with your manager about your nursing course, wait until you get your timetable and see how you could work around it to fit with your part time job. I am now on the bank at the hospital that I train at, so that I can work shifts according to my availability which works with my uni schedule and allows me to get a little bit of money each month. It is normally the case that nursing students are able to be on the bank at the hospital they train at, to be a healthcare assistant as long as it is approved. You could also look into being a student ambassador at your university and see how those hours work, at Coventry we decide when we want to work, and there is no set rota which is perfect.

I hope you find something that works for you!

Kind regards,
