it could be in the way you are describing yourself in your applications. Have you any work experience at all??Sorry to jump on but I’ve applied for quite a few various roles to do with admin within the nhs and always get turned down. I haven’t got experience but I’m in my first year of an IT degree. How am I meant to get experience if nobody will give me any lol
It may be worth applying to do bank work - basically temping within your local Trust. Will help get experience...worth speaking to them.Hi, thanks for the replies. Yes I have work experience but in care, catering, cleaning.... it doesn’t help that I’m 42! (Deciding on a career change) I don’t think that goes in my favour x
I do bank as well as my usual NHS admin role. So to be on bank I had to complete some basic admin tests (typing skills, excel, outlook). However if you are new to the NHS they'll likely interview you via TEAMs or the phone. I suspect its a bit different now due to Covid. Once you're accepted on bank you are able to put yourself forward for any bank roles advertised.does anyone work as BANK nhs admin staff? i have just applied to be bank for a full time admin role and was wondering how the process works etc?
I didn’t know you could do both? Does bank basically mean you choose your own shifts alongside your normal admin role. Might look into that for more more hours.I do bank as well as my usual NHS admin role. So to be on bank I had to complete some basic admin tests (typing skills, excel, outlook).

Yes, I'm part time in that I do less than 37.5 hours a week so I'm on bank for 2 Trusts to help get some extra hours. You pick and choose, the majority of jobs will be full time so its not easy to find additional part time hours but I've been lucky lately. Like you say, helps top up the funds! Definitely ask, its easy to sign up.I didn’t know you could do both? Does bank basically mean you choose your own shifts alongside your normal admin role. Might look into that for more more hours.
Definitely! i was in finance before working at NHS. My advice would be to relate your experience to the job description - pick out key parts/tasks that you can work round to previous jobs. I came to NHS after being made redundant too, I really enjoy it.I’ve worked in finance/admin for years and am due to be made redundant soon, I’ve seen a couple of clerical officer jobs at my local hospital. Is there much chance of getting one when I’ve never worked in the nhs? Any tips for the application form would be greatly appreciated. Thank you x
Thank you so much for replying. I’m going to do the applications later, fingers crossed! XDefinitely! i was in finance before working at NHS.

I second the advise to tailor your experience in previous jobs to parts in the job description. Reference them in interview too.The NHS is always looking for good admin and you don’t always need previous experience as training is always given. Sorry to hear of your redundancy but good luck in your application and hopefully new job xDefinitely! i was in finance before working at NHS.

They'll usually ask questions such as; how would you prioritise your workload, how would you handle a difficult patient, how do you work in a team, etc.does anyone have any interview tips for an admin bank role? my interview is tomorrowi just have no idea where to begin when i'm preparing for this.
Amazing news! Well done and congratulationsthank you all! they offered me the job at the end of the interview
