Pros

- Relatively Easy job in the day to day - Flexible in terms of what part of catering you want to do - Being Bank means I can pick my own hours

Cons

- Infrequency of bank shifts - sometimes there are loads which is great but can often mean you are understaffed if you pick up one of these shifts Then sometimes there are none so you would struggle to work, The NHS in general seems to struggle in maintaing an optimum level of staff and always is understaffed or overstaffed

Pros

Great sense of purpose and meaning in the work. Colleagues are genuinely dedicated and supportive. Good variety of tasks day to day, and you gain a wide range of clinical and interpersonal skills quickly. Job security is a major plus.

Cons

Staffing levels are often stretched thin, which puts pressure on everyone. Pay hasn't kept pace with the demands of the role. Management can feel disconnected from frontline realities, and communication from the top down is inconsistent.
