Cheshire Health Care recruitment agency listing
With the population of the UK generally living longer, the demands made of the Healthcare Industry are greater than ever. The industry currently employs around 4 million people across the UK with the NHS being responsible for nearly half of these. The sector is supported by a number of recruitment agencies who look to match the best Healthcare professionals with the right clients in roles ranging from Nurse to Cardiologist.
Healthcare recruitment
Finding work in the industry is currently becoming more difficult, with recent government cuts meaning a reduction in opportunities. For this reason, many candidates are seeking the services of an expert recruitment agency.
Salaries
Salaries in the sector vary, depending on job title and experience - and it is common to find a £50K pay gap between roles like Dental Nurse and Senior Medical Practitioner. In Cheshire, the average salary overall for the health industry is in excess of £35K, but this figure is distorted due to the diversity of the sector. Roles within health can include A&E Physician, Midwife, Dermatologist, Physiciatrist and GP.
Qualifications
Due to the expertise and responsibility demanded of most Healthcare professionals the need for graduates is high. Those looking to become Doctors or Psychologists will need relevant degrees, while less specialised roles may require work experience or a diploma. Most candidates are also expected to have a caring and empathetic nature and the ability to adjust to the long and unsociable hours which many positions entail.
