Alder Hey Hospital NHS Foundation Trust - Anonymous employee Alder Hey Hospital Employee Review

Good work life balance Good Speciality

Only specialise in one area

A rewarding and humbling experience that provides an insight into the hospital's ecosystem. Interviewing process was fairly easy. Upon completing a 6-week probationary period, you have the chance to volunteer on the patient wards (assuming you are aged 18+), where you can build a routine and create a friendly atmosphere for the patients and their families.

The recruitment process is lengthy (application - recruitment event - references - online training - ID appointment - induction event). The time taken from the recruitment event to my first shift totalled to approximately 6 months, but this time may be shortened depending on availability on both ends.
