About the NHS

The NHS was established in 1948 to offer everybody in the UK with health care based on their needs, and not on their capability to pay. The NHS is respected throughout the world for the standard of care it gives to clients.

Although many people think of the NHS as being their local healthcare facility, when you visit your dentist, your GP or perhaps your local pharmacist you could be talking to someone utilized by the NHS. And significantly there is increasingly more NHS staff whose work is not based in a hospital, however who work in local health centres, GP practices or perhaps in patients' own homes.

More individuals work for the NHS than any other organisation in the country: 1.3 million individuals in England alone. That is around one in every forty people. You will most likely know at least a single person who works for the NHS.

Individuals who work for the NHS might have tasks in clinical or non-clinical roles. Clinical functions provide care to clients, such as nursing, medicine, midwifery, as well as a variety of allied health professions such as physiotherapy, radiography and counselling.

The many non-clinical functions in the NHS cover the functions required to keep the buildings clean and efficient and the organisation running efficiently. Non-clinical functions consist of receptionists, accountants, IT experts, catering services, engineers, architects and plumbings.

With over 350 different chances, there is a role to fit all interests and credentials.
