NHS Blood and Transplant Employee Reviews about "flexible working"

Pros

Great location Flexible working hours

Cons

Relocating to Barnsley 2nd in command is not very nice

Pros

Joined the organisation to cover one year maternity leave, and 13 years later, I'm still here! A great place to work, where development opportunities are there for anyone who is keen to take them on. I've always felt supported as a working Mum and the flexible working arrangements make working life smoother. There is a continued commitment towards making the organisation a Great Place to Work and a positive drive to become more inclusive.

Cons

Nothing that comes to mind.

Pros

Lovely people, great work ethic, 28 days holiday and flexible working. Interesting work. Everyone feels part of a teaml

Cons

Management can be secretive. Not right at the top but middle management and assistant directors. Changes are made without consulting staff. Recognition not given to those who deserve it and some staff are overlooked in promotions who really work hard.

Pros

Everyone at NHSBT is really friendly, I have been welcomed into the organisation incredibly quickly. There are lots of opportunities to train and develop. We do fantastic work, helping people and saving lives, so every day you can be proud of your job and what you achieve. My job is interesting and challenging, I work with a wide variety of people on a diversity of projects. Management are engaging and attempt to be transparent at all times, listening to all staff in the organisation. The benefits are great, flexible working is possible, management are caring, we are given 28 days holiday minimum, and everyone is accommodating.

Cons

There is quite a lot of national travel which can be difficult, but a lot of the centres are easy to get to.

Pros

Helping to save lives. Open management style including at board level. Technical innovacy with new IT systems. Flexible working.

Cons

Many institutionalised 'old timer' staff make new working practises hard to implement due to resistance. Mediocre efficiency in many business areas. Poor collaboration of teams at times. Changes are slow and painful to make.

Pros

Flexible working, upgraded computer systems, clean bright working environment, health and wellbeing taken seriously.

Cons

Most of the training is electronic and doesn't take into account different learning styles.

Pros
