hi 3rd year student here

I am nearly graduating in a couple of months, but you can do 0hr contracts if you like but i would say the best option is to get onto nhsp bank as its flexible, you can book shifts hen you want to - thats what i do.

How many shifts and what shift lengths would you say are sensible? Assume only on uni blocks too?

When I was a student, I did anything from 6 to 24 hours' paid work a week (during theory blocks and holidays) depending on workload - anything from a 6 hour "twilight" to a 7.5 hour half day to a 12 hour full day or night shift.
I also made use of the hour's lunch break we had between morning and afternoon sessions in university to do bits of research for assignments (as well as eat!) so that I could also have time to do things like work. Just an idea that may or may not work for others.

That’s helpful thank you. I will need to work - is it monthly or weekly pay on the bank normally?

I’ve picked up a bank position as a health care assistant at my local hospital. I commute to university so i still live and work at home and then travel for my studies. I think a healthcare based role was very beneficial for me as I was able to get more experience working within a hospital and getting paid. The good thing about bank is that you can just pick up shift whenever you want, and in hospitals they pretty much need HCAs all the time

Do bank shifts tend to me quite easy to pick up to suit your availability? I am older with kids and will definitely need to work so thinking this is the best option for me as it is I’m hoping to a degree, flexible and of course the best experience. So what type of tasks do you perform as a HCSW?

There are pretty much always bank jobs available at my hospital and i can imagine it would be the same for every hospital as they always need that extra help!! I can pick up shifts when i’m available and it’s really simple to do. As a HCA i basically do a nurses job just a little less advanced, checking vitals, helping with patient care and supporting nurses when needed. You get all the training prior to starting the position, i’d never worked in a hospital before and had no previous experience as a HCA and they provided plenty of training for me

That is so helpful thank you. Really positive it sounds. Yes this is exactly what I want if I can’t get into some similar role from my present role pre September. Excellent experience too. How many shifts would you say you could get in on a uni week? Did you prefer days/eves/weekends? I know I will needing to be topping up the student money and would rather do it with experience. Thank you for your reply.
