Bankruptcy and working within the NHS

023456789

Hi

I am still here and building up the necessary details and cash to go bankrupt. A new question has arose which I would like some advice on please?

I am in the process of applying for a position within a finance department of a NHS trust, would being / going bankrupt have any bearing on this at all? Also at the moment I am temping within the same NHS trust would the changes in my financial situation have any bearing on my ability to work? I don't mean my physical ability but what is seen on a CRB.

Thanks in advance

Possibly, but you would need to check the Trusts policy on declaring Bankruptcy - ie do you need to tell them and if you dont is it a disciplinary offence.

(I am a Civil Servant and it says in my HR guidance that if I was to become bankrupt OR enter into an IVA that HR MUST be told otherwise it is Serious.Gross Misconduct with all the consequences that come with it).

Hope this helps.

Only the employer can really answer that question. All though I think the fact that it's a position within "a finance department" might matter more than it's a "NHS trust".

The bankruptcy won't appear on a CRB, it's not a criminal offence. However it will show up in the London Gazette. Granted, few people read the thing, but it does make it a matter of public record.

What did your temporary contract say (if you have one)? I very much doubt it however as never seen that rule but I'm a nurse so a wee bit different. Check the trust's intranet (search 'bankrupt' and should give you a clue or ask permanent colleague for a peruse of their contract.
