Anyone Work for the NHS?

For this role, they specifically wanted a PM with little or no prior NHS exposure
as they wanted someone with "a fresh perspective"

Sounds a bit dodgy

One I can't say, 2nd was run by jumped up little Hitler's who had no idea how to take a piss without a meeting and had written plans on how to demoralise the permies. Third was just general NHS idiots.

Odd, since I live in close (ish) proximity to Leeds and the NHS Kremlin building there are loads of NHS CfH project roles, all of the adverts and calls I get about them specify previous NHS experience required. It's a tad irritating since I'm starting to think about ending my break soon.

The Kremlin is the DWP. Do you mean the two sites near the train station? Both good sites to work - if it wasn't he NHS that is.

Quarry House is as you correctly state, DWP.
Whitehall & Princes Exchange are next to the train station and are indeed nice offices to work in (Except for the extortionate car parking fees if you drive in)

Park on Globe Road. About 4 quid a day

I agree with the politics comments on here though - never seen so much red tape.

Having worked in a very similar place, I agree with you. But the NHS works on the basis that the further you are from patients, the more money there is. Last time I had a permie job for a hospital, there was a time when if you needed a new pen, you had to see if any departments had any spares as there was no budget left for such fripperies.

Quarry House is split between DWP and DoH.

Agree about Globe Road / Water Lane parking but need to be there before 8.00 or spaces are at a premium. There is one car park at £3.50 per day but it shuts it gates at 18.30 (not that you work at that time on a NHS gig but you may get delayed in a restaurant / bar - soft drinks only if driving).

A close friend of mine is close to the £1kpd rate with them as a PM at the moment.
