Is a job in the NHS something to consider?

Posted on March 9, 2021 at 2:40 pm

The NHS has been in the news a lot over the past 12 months and many people have come to appreciate what the NHS offers us and how lucky we are to have a system like it. Many NHS staff have been on the front line of the pandemic and have had to work long hours to copy with the increase in demand. IF you were considering changing careers or thinking about future job prospects, you may consider a position within the NHS. There are a huge number of jobs within the NHS from working on a reception desk in a department within the hospital to carrying out operations as a surgeon. All of these jobs are very important and obviously require a very different sort of training. There can be many perks to working within the NHS and recently lots of retailers have offered NHS workers discounts as a thank you for all their hard work, but often jobs in the NHS do require a lot of flexibility and may require you to work unsociable hours. The pay can vary a lot from job to job, but some of the lower skilled jobs tend to often only pay minimum wage or just above. Many people work for the NHS because they want to give something back, even if the wage is not great.
