How to use NHSP Connect 

Getting set up and logging in

Unlike some other direct engagement portals, you do not require a login for NHSP Connect, as we will submit timesheets on your behalf. 

Submitting timesheets

When starting work with us, you will receive your timesheet template via email from your candidate care consultant. You will need to get this signed at the end of every week by the client and send to us to complete and upload to NHSP Connect by 5pm Tuesday. 

Top tips: Before sending us your timesheet, ensure you’ve completed all the following sections correctly: working hours, breaks, and client name. It is essential that we receive timesheets in black and white, in a clear landscape format; if timesheets are not in a clear format, this may result in a delay in your pay. 

Payment timeframe explained

You’ll be paid directly by the trust, and payment is made the Friday after the week is consolidated as per the example below: 

  • Week 1 = Working week 
  • Week 2 = Data consolidated (Wednesday) 
  • Week 3 = Payment made by Friday 
Don’t forget your first week appraisal form

Once you have commenced working with the trust, we require you to complete our First shift appraisal form. This needs to be submitted within the first week of your placement.

Accessing payslips

You can access your payslips via the MySBSPay app. When downloading the app for the first time, you’ll need to register for an account using your email address. Further information on the app can be found below.
