NHS Careers - Advice on Working in the Public Sector
The NHS offers a huge range of opportunities for people to vary their working lives as their personal circumstances change. When a traditional 9-5 work week does not suit your lifestyle, there is scope for part-time working, job sharing and term-time working, as well as evening and weekend work. Many NHS staff take career breaks to raise a family or embark on some other project, with the knowledge that they will be welcome to return when they are ready. As you want to shift the work / home balance in your life, the NHS will likely be able to offer you a working pattern to match.
