Just recently been reminded of a scheme they have at the NHS called salary sacrifice.
You basically, give up part of your wage in return for a lease car (how much depends on what car). All running costs (servicing, insurance etc.) are included except fuel. Don`t know if that`s any use to you, but might be worth a look.

thanx for that G but i cant drive, never really fancied it

Thats a shame. If I remember right, when we looked, you could get a new corsa for about £180/month, with a new car every 3 years. With insurance, road tax and servicing included, it`s quite a good deal. I think my daughter will be looking into it when she starts (if she passes her test).
Might still be worth asking, you might be able to get mopeds through the scheme.

good god thats really cheap, where will she be working?

gpick24 · 31-10-2013, 19:24

She doesn`t know yet. She got her conditional offer a couple of days ago. She`s to go back next week with all her stuff and to see occupational health.
The Mrs says there were cars as cheap as £105/month. Don`t remember which make or model.
I`ll ask her have a look later.

Yes, and on wards but don`t know which yet. She was told they were just interviewing for HCAs then decide where they are going later (60 vacancies she was told)

yes the whole hospital is in desperate need of more hca's we are run off our feet on our ward at the moment , had to do a whole afternoon shift on my own on tuesday because the silly rota system didnt put any other hca's on, me and three nurses to 22 patients was rather hectic...but i wouldnt change my job for the world, i hope she ends up on a good ward

i think i am going to have to stick with the bus and taxis for now
