NHS calls on people to consider lifechanging careers in NHS

THE NHS has urged young people to take the best decision they’ll ever make and begin a career in the NHS. 

NHS England has launched the health service’s annual recruitment drive, encouraging anyone looking for a career change to consider joining one of hundreds of rewarding careers on offer.  The We are the NHS campaign will shine a light on careers within healthcare and showcase the range of job opportunities available, from nursing to radiography to podiatry.  

Last year’s campaign, alongside increased investment for degrees and placements and the extraordinary work of NHS staff throughout the pandemic, prompted a surge in applicants to healthcare degrees, with the number of undergraduate nurses increasing for the fourth year in a row. 

Sue Doheny, director of nursing at NHS England and NHS Improvement South West said, “Joining the NHS was the best decision I ever made, and I’d encourage anyone, whether you’re a school leaver, recent graduate or simply looking for a new challenge to consider joining – no matter what your experience or qualifications – a fulfilling, rewarding and exciting career awaits.” 

For more information and to find out more about the range of nursing, allied health professionals, and healthcare support worker roles available within the NHS, search NHS careers.

  • Schoolchildren share artwork celebrating peace and unity

Artwork by pupils from a Frome primary school has been displayed at a community festival celebrating multiculturalism.

The work by children from St Louis Catholic Primary School was shown at the event at the Multicultural Festival at Cheese and Grain on Sunday 11th October, with pupils exploring themes of peace, hope and unity.

Assistant headteacher Jack Opie said, “From pompom doves made by Reception, to ‘splatter art’ inspired by impressionism in Year 5, the children produced work that reflected the ideas and thoughts which arose during discussion about multiculturalism, peace and hope and how we can celebrate and treat others with kindness.”
