Why Choose a Career in Healthcare
Do you have a real passion for helping others? Would you like to work in a field where every day is different, and you enjoy a real sense of purpose and personal reward? Are you looking for a career with opportunities unlimited, where you can keep progressing? If this appeals to you – working in healthcare could be the answer. Let’s look at some of the top reasons for pursuing a fulfilling and dynamic career in healthcare…
You’ll Make a Difference Every Day
Working in healthcare is so much more than just a job. It’s a real vocation that gives you the opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of others. Whether you work as a Nurse, a Doctor, a Support Worker or Healthcare Assistant, you’ll know that each day you go to work you’re changing lives for the better. You’ll be making a valuable contribution to your community and to society - while earning a living at the same time.
There are So Many Opportunities
No matter your qualifications and interest – there are so many roles in healthcare. You may decide to pursue a clinical career, working as a Nurse, Doctor, Physiotherapist, or Psychologist. You could choose to specialise in a particular area – such as Mental Health, Paediatrics, Gynaecology or Oncology. Alternatively, a non-clinical role might suit you, where you work in office administration, IT, finance or Human Resources. There are also many much-needed behind-the-scenes roles available - such as Hospital Porter, Caterer or Multi-Task Attendant. In healthcare, helping people takes many forms, and there’s a role that’s right for you.
No Day is the Same
For the Nurse on the ward to the Medical Researcher working at the forefront of medicine and the Healthcare Assistant supporting the elderly - every day is different in healthcare. There’s always a fresh challenge, so much to learn and there’s no chance of being bored. You’ll also get to work with patients and peers from all walks of life, broadening your experience.
You’ll Enjoy Great Job Security
Whether you choose a Permanent or Temporary role, working full-time or part-time – you’ll never be short of work. From Nurses to Technicians and Healthcare Assistants, society will always need good healthcare professionals and there are always plenty of great jobs on offer.
You’ll Grow Professionally
The fast-paced, hands-on nature of healthcare means you’re constantly growing your knowledge and experience. You’ll learn from different professionals, work with modern technologies and equipment and sample diverse healthcare settings. You’ll be offered training and skills development opportunities – from certifications to advanced degree courses – helping you grow and progress your career and your rewards.
You’ll Earn a Competitive Salary or Wage
Healthcare workers can receive good rates of pay, along with benefits such as pension plans, health and wellness benefits and extra incentives. Plus, there will always be the option of overtime opportunities or working additional, flexible shifts.
You Can Keep It Flexible
Healthcare gives you the chance to tailor your working life around your personal life, family needs and educational requirements. You’ll be able to choose between day, evening or night shifts, part-time or full-time – making it easier to achieve that important work-life balance.
You Can Work Anywhere
There are lots of different healthcare settings to choose from – including large regional hospitals, community clinics, private clinics and voluntary organisations. You can also work anywhere in Ireland or consider exploring the international job market.
You’ll Build Relationships and Communities
People are the beating heart of healthcare, and what you do will touch lives in so many ways. You’ll develop working relationships with colleagues and get to know patients and their families. You’ll be inspired by a real sense of purpose, create important bonds with those you support, and know that your work plays an integral role in building healthier communities.
