To give up my second job?

[Studentnursesos12e]

Hey

I’m a student nurse, and have two jobs one in a school, one as a hca. Both casual.

The hca job is creating issue after issue (nhs) and a year after applying I’ve still not properly started but am unable to properly apply elsewhere. They also don’t like me having the school job.

I qualify as a nurse in a year, without the hca job I’d be living off £350-650 a month depending on school shifts.

AIBU to give up the hca job?

I’m not going to resign on the spot, but it’s been so slow and they have so many rules about shift patterns yet expect me to work extra shifts during (student nurse) placement.

Thanks x

Can you join the staff bank as a HCSW. That way you work what you want, around your placement hours, and you can keep the school job if you want

Hi @dotty that is the Nhs staff bank I’m a hcsw for. I don’t know why they are so slow as I know other trusts aren’t. Thanks for your reply x

You needn't give up the bank job, just don't do any shifts if it doesn't suit you to. Useful to stay on the bank though as your pin may take a while and you can pick up HCSW shifts as suits.

Is it the incuction/ training which is holding you back as it should be fairly straight forward. I havd staff apply and generally start withing 3 months. Also not have any issues with other jobs, loads of nhs full time staff are on bank.
