NHS Department restructure

Lana

I am a band 6 nurse working for an acute trust.  The department I work for have just finished the consultation period of the restructure.  The proposal is that they reduce the number of band 6 roles from 23 to 11.  They have increased the band 5 nurse roles from 2 to 27.  A slight change ito both job descriptions to incorporate change of hours; from Mon-Fri 8.30 to 4.30, to 8am to 8pm 7 days a week.  There is a selection process for the band 6.  We have had a letter this week informing us of our options.  1, if selected, accept new contract, in position of band 6, 2) those not selected will be downbanded to band 5 job role.  There is no mention of redundancy. My union says we are not being made redundant as we will have a band 5 role.  By being put in a band 5 role, I will be 20% drop in my wage, change of hours and will go from freedom to act, to being supervised.  Any advise if this is all my options?

    Thank you Theresa.

    The consultation did affect approx. 22 staff, so there was a consultation document. (it was just that our banding was the largest staff group affected). When they informed me by letter that my post was not required in the new structure and would be terminated in two weeks they attached the band 5 contract (totally different job description, status, pay and hours and advised me to sign it and email it back). I refused by letter as per grievance.

    Thank you Teresa. I have had an email today to state the union decision maker has changed their mind agreed to refer it to their legal team for consideration. I don't hold out much hope as they don't seem to get my case has it is not the usual way to follow a redundancy procedure. (I think the Trust have done it this way to mislead employees into thinking they do not have a choice)
  • I work for a NHS Trust. We are going through a restructure. My job has been given to another department to do. Everyone else has kept their job apart from me. The job they have offered me I do not want. No one wants the job either. They have said I was job matched to this job. I have gone down a grade which I expected due to saving money. Other peoples roles have had changes but they still have their same role.
  • Currently, NHS-funded healthcare providers in England receive much of their income under a system called Payment by Results. Providers receive a standard payment under the NHS “tariff system”, which is a set of fixed prices that it will pay for treatment, such as a visit to A&E or a surgical procedure. And I really appreciate this!
