Pros

I worked in a non-clinical role therefore I had a significant amount of flexibility over my start and finish times, which was great for a work/life balance.

Cons

In the Trust I worked, the department was poorly structured which seriously limited career progression, so much so that the desirable teams would always choose to recruit externally than train existing staff up.

Pros

Great sense of purpose and meaning in the work. Colleagues are genuinely dedicated and supportive. Good variety of tasks day to day, and you gain a wide range of clinical and interpersonal skills quickly. Job security is a major plus.

Cons

Staffing levels are often stretched thin, which puts pressure on everyone. Pay hasn't kept pace with the demands of the role. Management can feel disconnected from frontline realities, and communication from the top down is inconsistent.
