Did you know the NHS has more than 350+ careers?
Although most people think about the NHS as being their local hospital, when you visit your dentist, your GP or even your local pharmacist you could be speaking to someone employed by the NHS.
he people who work for the NHS may have jobs in clinical or non-clinical roles. Clinical roles provide care to patients, such as nursing, medicine, midwifery, as well as a range of allied health professions such as physiotherapy, radiography and counselling.
The many non-clinical roles in the NHS cover the functions needed to keep the buildings clean and efficient and the organisation running smoothly. Non-clinical roles include receptionists, accountants, IT specialists, caterers, engineers, architects and plumbers.
