Healthcare outside the NHS - Voluntary Agencies
If you are interested in furthering your career in healthcare, but find that the NHS is not to your liking and you have no wish to join the private sector, you may want to consider the voluntary agencies.
Many voluntary organisations are highly professional and employ fully trained staff to help them supervise or develop volunteers. A specialist or even a generic management job with a voluntary agency can breathe life back into your enthusiasm for your profession, broaden your horizons and help you develop unexpected interests.
This article looks at the wide range of possibilities open to qualified staff working in the voluntary and charitable sector. If you are interested in becoming a voluntary worker in healthcare sector, see our separate article - The Voluntary Army.
