CORPORATE ROLES IN THE NHS
Like any organisation, the NHS relies on essential corporate functions like finance, HR, and marketing to keep everything running smoothly.
Unlike other organisations, people working across these departments have a
direct impact on patient care.
A wide range of positions for everyone.
Our Trusts rely on the skills of non-clinical teams to keep our hospitals running smoothly. From IT and HR to Communications, Finance, and Health & Safety, our corporate services play a vital role in supporting patient care every day.
Behind the scenes, your work keeps everything ticking. You’ll be part of a team that makes a real difference – even if you’re not on the front line.
So, what could you do?
We offer a wide range of exciting opportunities across these areas, and for many roles, you can work towards professional qualifications while you earn, helping you build a long-term NHS career with real progression.
Not all roles require formal qualifications. We value your people skills, life experience, and enthusiasm just as much. Whether you're just leaving school or university, returning to work, or ready for a fresh challenge, there’s a place for you here.
