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.”
