As career opportunities go there aren’t many that can offer you the chance to tackle some of the greatest challenges of our time. Like how can Europe's largest employer reduce its impact on UK carbon emissions? How will the credit crunch affect the provision of healthcare services in the UK? How will the NHS transform itself and improve patient care through quality and innovation?
These are exactly the sort of questions managers in the NHS are looking to answer. And this world-class Graduate Management Training Scheme promises to give emerging leaders the answers with comprehensive training and development, essential in preparation for one of the toughest yet rewarding careers out there.
Employing 1.3 million people and responsible for an annual budget of £100 billion — career opportunities really don't get much bigger than this. It takes nothing less than total dedication to handle the complexity and sheer scope of an organisation that looks after 60 million people from their very first breath.
Individuals can choose to join the NHS scheme in either: Finance, HR, General Management or Informatics Management, developing essential skills that could make a difference to the lives of millions of people. After gaining postgraduate and professional qualifications together with real work experience through NHS placements across England, they’ll wield real influence within one of the most innovative and forward thinking organisations in the world.
The NHS welcomes applicants from all backgrounds who have or are expecting at least a 2:2 degree or equivalent (please refer to www.nhsgraduates.co.uk for eligibility criteria). Postgraduates, mature students and those working within the NHS are also encouraged to apply.
