Joining our bank puts you in control of the shifts you work and where you work them. You’ll work on an ad-hoc basis, signing up for available shifts to suit you, where you’ll provide expert, temporary support for patients and HCA UK colleagues.

If you choose to join us on an annualised hours basis, you’ll be a contracted employee of HCA UK with access to our wide-ranging benefits package and training. You’ll also be able to flex your hours to suit you. So, if you work over your hours one week or month, you can work less the following week or month. 

It's a great option as your benefits will include:

• additional training and career development
• annual leave, sick leave and supernumerary shifts
• a monthly salary
• priority over bank workers and agency for shifts
• membership of the HCA UK benefits scheme, including private healthcare.

Most colleagues who join us on a permanent contract work regular hours on a full-time or part-time basis. Whichever option is best for you, we’ll do whatever we can to structure those hours around your other commitments.

Depending on your circumstances, you may prefer to work longer or shorter shifts (which doesn’t necessarily mean working longer or shorter hours overall). This is something we’re happy to consider, wherever possible.

If you have school-age children, you may be limited to working during term time. With HCA UK, that needn’t be a problem. In most cases, we’ll be able to adjust your hours so that you can work with us while your children are at school, then take time out to be with them during the holidays.
