“The NHS is one of the largest employers in the world and, with 1.3 million staff, it is the biggest employer in Europe. There are a wide range of different employers in the NHS, from hospitals and ambulance services through to GP practices and opticians. You can also work in social care or take up role in public health.
A career in the health service – in one of the hundreds of vital roles on offer – is an opportunity to make a positive difference to patient’s lives, helping people when they need it most. Whatever your skills, qualifications or interests, there is a career for you in the NHS”.
“The NHS’s 75th anniversary is a significant milestone in British history and the COVID-19 global pandemic clearly highlighted the vital role its staff play in our lives. We know schools and students are keen to learn more about what it’s like working in the NHS, so it’s great to have teamed up with them on this important initiative.
“We’re looking for NHS staff, from all levels and professions to register and commit to a minimum of an hour a year to go into schools and colleges – in person or virtually – and talk about their job and the educational route they took to get there. It’s easy to sign up and by doing so you’ll be helping to inspire the NHS workforce of the future”.
