Employment Issues

hospital building

Although you apply to a Foundation School and are accepted onto a programme you are in fact employed directly by the NHS trust and not the Foundation School. The Foundation school oversees the training that you will receive but for issues surrounding:

  • Pay
  • Banding
  • Rotas
  • Accommodation

These will be dealt with at local level by the employing trust.
