Managing the nation’s healthcare system isn’t easy. Employing some 1.3 million people, managing annual budgets of £110 billion and looking after 60 million people across the UK, career opportunities don’t come much bigger than ours. Join our Graduate Management Training Scheme in Informatics and you’ll soon see that it takes nothing less than total dedication to handle the complexity and scope of our organisation. Informatics is one of the fastest growing areas in the health sector. Right now we’re leading the way with exciting projects and a creative use of IT that’s improving patient care. But there’s more to us than IT alone, as you’ll see when you join our leading graduate scheme.

Whatever your background (it won’t necessarily be in IT) we’ll challenge you from the start; demanding not just some technical proficiency, but an analytical, flexible and innovative approach to deal with the complexity of our agenda. It will be tough going, and you’ll need to prove yourself from the start. But show you’ve got the commitment and vision we’re looking for and you’ll find few opportunities as rewarding as ours. What’s more, we’ll give you the training, development and practical experience you need to help you become a leader in your field – making a huge difference to your own career, and the lives of millions of people across the UK. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds. However, competition to join us is fierce, so think carefully before applying. Make sure that you hold, or are expecting to gain, at least a 2:2 (or equivalent) and have the mettle to rise to some of the most complex challenges around. Lead the way. Lead Informatics Management.

Pilot Communications Graduate Management Training Scheme

Imagine what it’s like being part of a press office team during a global healthcare issue like swine flu, or liaising with the local press after an incident at your hospital or even helping NHS departments engage with a wide range of stakeholders.

We’re looking for twelve people who are keen to learn, quick to pick up ideas and who want to develop their skills in NHS communications and aspire to be a leader of the future. Modelled on our existing award winning national programme, the new pilot scheme prides itself on its “blended learning” approach – structured work placements in parallel with education, development and working towards professional qualifications. So if you think you have the ambition and passion to make it through, apply today and make this the moment that defines your career.
