Overview of the Role
Overall, how would you describe your experience at North Bristol NHS Trust?
the workload falls on the people who work well, and they end up overwhelmed. and eventually they either start performing poorly or leave.
What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?
I enjoy the rapport with patients, sometimes you work with good colleagues.
To what extent does your role give you the opportunity to contribute meaningfully and feel valued by your team?
Food responsibilities are often seen as a burden that unofficially no one wants to deal with, so they fall on the housekeeper. Although this should be a team-supported task, in many departments it ends up becoming a heavy workload handled by the housekeeper, with occasional support from a few others.
Pointing it out risks no support and being treated as the problem.
there are very few exception ward with great management and great co-operation. about 4 or 5.

Experience & Company Culture
How is the support you receive?
maybe they talk or they try to improve actively, you will see a dramatic improvement for 1 or 2 weeks and after that lazy staff will always find a way to go back to their (low) standard. Has I said, supervisor and managers have their hand tied, and they cannot supervise constantly.
How is your work-life balance?
What is the organisational culture, values and general atmosphere like?
general atmosphere it really depends from department to department and also from your communication and personal skills.
How would you rate North Bristol NHS Trust initiatives when it comes to equality, diversity, inclusion and accessibility?

Why?
How well did the role match your expectations based on the recruitment process?
When I applied, I knew it was a food and stock-related job, but I didn’t expect it to be a team-dependent role that’s impossible to handle alone, with the team often deliberately keeping busy to avoid helping. When you point it out, things might improve for a couple of weeks, but then revert back, or you start being seen as a problem by the supervisors.
