Flexible Nursing Pool

  

Since 2018, the Flexible Nursing Pool has greatly supported Oxford University Hospitals with last-minute staffing requirements, fulfilling needs for additional Registered Nurses and Nursing Assistants across a vast range of wards.

   

Members of the Flexible Pool make a real difference to patients’ lives during their stay, greatly support NHS colleagues and build upon skills at a vast range of clinical areas throughout the Trust. 

Hourly rates for Flexible Pool shifts are competitive and reward Pool Members for their flexibility in where they are allocated to work. 

  

How Flexible Pool shifts work

  

Flexible Pool shifts are booked, authorised and released in the same way as other bank shifts are, although there are some differences: 

  • Pool members are sent to wards with staffing requirements, the shift location is decided at Trust meetings throughout day.

  • Pool Members login to their MyBank access one hour before their pool shift is due to commence, to find out where they are working. The shift will automatically update to the correct ward. 

  • Pool members agree to a set of terms and conditions prior to joining, one of these is the expectation that the shift is not cancelled after being allocated to an area.
