The South East of England is the UK's second largest regional economy after London. It comprises Berkshire, East Sussex, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Kent, Oxfordshire, Surrey, West Sussex and the Isle of Wight.

A large proportion of the regions public sector jobs can be found across two strategic health authorities: the NHS South East Coast in Surrey and the NHS South Central in Newbury. Private sector jobs in this region are many and varied, but are mainly found in the vast array of technology companies housed here. Recruitment agencies specialising in technology jobs are therefore a rich source of employment openings. One of the largest companies in the region is the telecommunications company Vodafone.
