  • Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust
  • Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital
  • Whittington Health NHS Trust
  • University College London Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

Who is the Collaborative Bank available for?

The NCL Collaborative Bank is available for Band 2 nursing, Band 5 general nursing, including RMN’s, and Radiographers.

How do I sign up to the NCL Collaborative Bank?

  • Step 1. Ensure you are signed up to one of the temporary staffing banks at either: North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Whittington Health NHS Trust or University College London Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
  • Step 2. Log into your MeApp or EmployeeOnline, press ‘opt in’ to CloudStaff Duties. This is found under the ‘Main Menu’ in the Me App or ‘My Profile’ in EmployeeOnline
  • Step 3. Once ‘opted in’, you’ll receive an email from the NCL Collaborative Bank email address [email protected] asking you to complete the ‘Joiner’ form, which includes you providing your payment information.
  • Step 4. Once you have done both of these steps, you’ll receive confirmation that you are part of the NCL Collaborative Bank and you’ll be able to start booking shifts via the Me App or EmployeeOnline.

How do I book a Collaborative Bank shift?

You’ll use your EmployeeOnline account or the MeApp to book a Collaborative Shift, just like booking a bank shift at your Home Trust.

How do I cancel a NCL Collaborative shift that I have booked?

Please contact your working trust at your earliest convenience to advise them that you wish to cancel the shift.

Who is my Home Trust?

Your Home Trust is where you are normally based.

What's the difference between a Home Trust and a Working Trust?

Your Home Trust is where you are normally based. A Working Trust is one of the other trusts where you can select shifts to work as part of the NCL Collaborative Bank.

I've signed up but it is not allowing me to book Collaborative Bank shifts. What can I do?

There could be a few possible reasons for this.

  1. If you have only just signed up, you’ll need to await confirmation from the NCL Collaborative Bank that you have been set up.
  2. Ensure you have also clicked ‘opt in to CloudStaff’ via either the Me App or EmployeeOnline
  3. If you are still having issues, reach out to your Home Trust for help. It is worth checking that your Home Trust bank team have your up to date compliance information.
