How much notice?
10 Answers
My short fixed term contract is to terminate on 30th September. I have the chance of another job. How much notice am I obliged to give to my employer (the NHS). I have been ringing the HR department practically all day and there is no answer! I have to give some kind of answer on the new job which is why I need to know today. Thank you

However, don't think that this means you can give your notice today and be out in precisely one month! They'll probably have annual leave type thingies to take in to account etc... Your manager should actually be able to tell you, you shouldn't need to call HR.
Sure... :c)
It's the grading system for administrative and clerical and clinical jobs (not including directors/dentists/doctors) that came about after agenda for change. Before that, they were all seperated out. So a band 5 for example means you have to have a degree or equivalent level of experience to do the job, as far as I'm aware, all newly clinically trained staff come in at that (nurses, therapists etc), it's a fairly high level for admin and pretty much I think the last admin level that high before you end up being some sort of manager or very speicalised role.
Bands 2 & 3 tend to be health care assistants (any ward) and reception staff or quite junior admin posts.
Bands 6 and above imply a specialty so you'd be a specialist nurse or a particularly senior nurse or practitioner or administrator, can't remember what the requirements are and a band 7 would at need to be at least a masters level (or equivalent) in terms of qualifications. The highest is a band 9 and I only know of two people at this level from my old trust, the chief pharmacist and the professor of the physcists (something to do with radiotherapy and running the equipment).
That alright?

Erm... Well bearing in mind, I've not done the job profiling and banding since about 2005(!) I think it would depend on the level of experience what you could go in at because all though they write what qualifications you should have they also write 'equivelant experience'.. Obviously not every PA has a degree for example but some have worked for the NHS for over ten years (that type of thing) in a variety of areas. Also, we didn't have psych nurses and HCA's at the hospital I was working in so that might be different.
I don't know what book keeping would be but perhaps it might be soemthing that could be used in finance of payroll areas?
Anyhow, the NHS job site is very good and you can check out the person specifications for jobs as well and search by bands etc... Have a look at that :c)
