NHS

Size (no. of employees): 1.3 Million

Brief Description of company and its goals: It’s not work, it’s life. The NHS isn’t just another organisation. What we do isn’t just work, it’s life itself. That’s why we want the very best people right at the top. Our graduate management scheme - with specialist threads in Finance, Human Resources and General Management  - will help you get there, developing the skills you’ll need to play a leading role in the provision of world class, patient-led healthcare. We’ll help you attain postgraduate or and professional qualifications too. We’ve already made incredible progress. In 2000 the number of outpatients waiting more than three months was 393,000. Today, that figure is just 126. The success of our ongoing transformation means there has never been a better time for ambitious, talented graduates with, or expecting, a 2:2 degree to join us. What’s more, as the biggest single organisation in Europe, we already employ 1.3 million people, have an annual budget of £90billion and touch the lives of every single man, woman and child in the country. Career opportunities don’t get much bigger. Perhaps most importantly of all, the lives of millions are changed by the services we provide. Join us and we’ll change yours.
