Our Staff Bank

What is Bank On Us?

As a Trust it is vitally important that for the safe care of our patients we maintain safe staffing levels in both Ashford hospital and St Peter’s. On the occasions staff are on leave and/or sick or we have additional essential shifts to cover we call upon our pool of staff registered with the hospital to help cover at short notice. These are our Bank On Us members who are looked after the Temporary Staffing - Bank On Us Team!

The Bank On Us staff members include Doctors, Nurses, Therapists, Porters, Domestics, admin and CSSD assistants amongst many others! So whatever your talent, skills or qualifications we would love to hear from you.

Pay rates?

Depending on the job grade you are covering you will be paid a pre-determined bank hourly rate.

Your application to join the Trust Bank?

All advertised bank jobs are listed on our vacancies page.

These will have job descriptions attached that outline the duties of the bank role you are applying for whether admin, portering or nursing!

Your application will be sent to the appropriate individual for shortlisting who will assess your skills and experience against the JD and person specification. If shortlisted, you will then be invited for an interview which will be the opportunity to test your skills and competences alongside a discussion about the potential area of work and hours.

We have to ensure we are placing individuals in placements appropriate to skills and abilities and age - most patient related areas/roles need workers aged 18 or over.

How to book bank shifts?

The booking of shifts / placements depends on the type of work you are undertaking.

For the nursing and Medical Division, shifts are advertised and booked via the rostering app.

The more specific and / or departmental based bank roles can also be booked directly with the department, for example portering and transport services.
