GETTING
SERIOUS
ABOUT

healthcare
A job in the NHS doesn't have to mean
becoming a doctor or nurse - there are
hundreds of other positions available

T

he NHS is rarely out of the news
these days, and that's testament
to its crucial role in the nation's
health and wellbeing. It's the biggest
employer in the UK - and fifth largest in
the world - with 1.185 million people
working for the organisation. Indeed, the
NHS accounts for 30% of total public
sector employment.
With a shortage of doctors and nurses
across the NHS - recent figures suggest
36,000 nursing vacancies - there are
plenty of job opportunities. Since it's a
public sector employer, benefits include
at least 27 days' annual leave, a generous
pension scheme, good career and salary
development and pay enhancements. So
what are you waiting for? Here are some
of the roles you could consider.
