      Doesn't Recommend

      I worked at NHS full-time for more than 3 years

      Pros

      From an admin point of view it’s helping others over the phone by providing “customer service”

      Cons

      Outdated attitudes and the banding hierarchy

      Advice to Management

      Value all levels, don’t just pile the rubbish jobs on the lower bandings and expect the monotony not to have a negative effect.
