I will be working in mental healthHi I am an admin for an NHS service. The service I work for is closed on Christmas Day so weāre not required to work and depending on the dept./service you would work for you may not have too. I love my work Iāve worked in a few NHS services (physical health, mental health and drug & alcohol)
I work for a local community mental health team so weāre a 9-5 Monday - Friday service. Itās interesting work and Iām lucky to work with a great team and I love the diverse patient group we have. Good luck in your new role - are you working in community or a ward setting? XI will be working in mental health
I will be 9-5 also ! It is also community. Thank you I am looking forward to it I will be part time 22.5 hours xI work for a local community mental health team so weāre a 9-5 Monday - Friday service.

Aww canāt you return?I was and I miss it a lot! Like others have said, it would depend on the department. I worked in Children's Services, our specific part never had to work Christmas Day.
Lots of trusts do apprentice roles. I used hours from my last vacancy to create an apprentice position. For the reason you state above, I get lots of applications from clearly awesome people but because there's no experience you can't award enough points to get them shortlisted for interview. Having an apprentice has worked so well for us as a team, the existing staff enjoy developing the apprentice and the apprentice is loving it. She's doing so well she has been invited to a patient group to talk to them about her apprenticeship. Just a tip for your future applications really focus on your values and behaviours in your supporting information, people can be trained to use new OS but you can't train someone to be nice! Good luck with your applications xSorry to jump on but Iāve applied for quite a few various roles to do with admin within the nhs and always get turned down. I havenāt got experience but Iām in my first year of an IT degree. How am I meant to get experience if nobody will give me any lol
The trust i work for also do apprenticeships so it can be worth looking into as you donāt need as much experience. Try to work as much info/examples as you can from your application/ written statement and do keep trying.Sorry to jump on but Iāve applied for quite a few various roles to do with admin within the nhs and always get turned down.

iām sure your doing this already but match your personal statement to the person spec, for example if they want someone confident you should say āiām willing to talk to anyoneā along those lines for each point they give, basically reword it iāve sat with my manager while she was going through applications and had a small insight to the hiring process xSorry to jump on but Iāve applied for quite a few various roles to do with admin within the nhs and always get turned down.

Its not paid but do-it.org often have a lot of ads for volunteer admin and/or social media type roles. Some you can do from home and only for a few hours a week.Sorry to jump on but Iāve applied for quite a few various roles to do with admin within the nhs and always get turned down.
