Careers in the Health and Care Sector
Working in the health and care sector doesn’t just mean doctor or care assistant (although these are both options with huge potential and increasingly in demand). See the National Careers Service Healthcare webpage for career options ranging from clinical psychologist, colour therapist and counsellor to medical illustrator, microbiologist and midwife.
To keep up to date with skills challenges in the sector, visit the National Skills Academies for Health and Care at Skills for Health and Skills for Care.
