Bank Administrator (Band 3)
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Bank Administrator supports the NHS staff bank by processing applications, maintaining accurate personnel records, checking documentation, coordinating shifts and responding to enquiries from temporary workers and departments. The role generally requires administrative experience, good computer skills, attention to detail and the ability to organise competing priorities. Candidates should communicate clearly, handle confidential information appropriately and work accurately within established procedures. Experience in healthcare administration, recruitment, rostering or payroll is useful but may not be essential. The successful applicant is expected to provide a reliable, courteous service, work effectively with colleagues and meet NHS standards for confidentiality, equality, safeguarding and data protection.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: NHS nurses, doctors and allied health get a Health and Care Worker visa (about 3 weeks, no health surcharge); care workers lost this route on 22 July 2025.
Before you apply: Nurses, doctors and most allied health staff must be registered or licensed locally before they start: expect checks on your degree and licence, often an English test, and often an exam or an assessment. Ask the employer who handles it and how long it takes. Most pharma and device office jobs do not need it.
Watch for: Pay follows the NHS pay bands and is usually at least GBP 25,000. Nurses and allied health also need UK professional registration; care workers cannot be sponsored from abroad.
