Work Life Balance and your Mental Health
As someone who works in a healthcare setting, it can be easy to prioritise the health and wellbeing of others over the health and wellbeing of yourself.
Over time, this mindset can become a deep-rooted habit, unless we take a mindful step back occasionally to ensure we have a healthy work life balance and recognise if you are close to burnout.
We've put together a simple three-step guide to assess your current situation and help you work out if you need to make a change to positively impact your work life balance, and mental health.

Balance your career ambitions
"Working with NHS Professionals means I have the flexibility and comfort that comes with the choice of when and what time to work. This is everything to me. Every day is a memorable because each day I work on a different ward with different staff and patients.”
Taoheed - Care Support Worker, South Tees NHS Foundation Trust
Balance your family life
"NHS Professionals has supported my work-life balance and commitments around family. I am an unpaid carer for my disabled husband; I care for him and all his personal needs. I prefer to work nightshifts and being able to choose this as an option means that I can balance my work-life schedules."
Julie - Nurse, University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust
Balance your future
"I retired a few years ago but wanted to continue to work on the bank. It was an easy decision for me to choose NHS Professionals, as I could continue to help and support the team that I already knew. I like the flexibility of choosing when to work, so it fits around my personal life and holidays. I also like to keep up my skills and competence to revalidate and stay on the NMC register as I feel I’ve got a lot to offer.”
Maggie - Nurse, Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
Balance your finances
"I work 22.5 hours per week in my substantive role and chose to work extra shifts with NHS Professionals to have extra money to have to spend on my daughters."
