Career advice

Posts: 3 Newbie
Hi guys,
Just wanted to ask for some career advice...
I’m a Team Leader for Admin in the NHS, I’m paid 21,000 a year but feel really lost. I want to leave the NHS because it’s such a difficult place to work with the current budget cuts, lack of staffing and sickness across the board. I feel frustrated because my service is failing and I just want to work in an industry where I can be rewarded for my hard work and commitment.
The only problem is I don’t have a clue what to do or where to look
Has anyone been through similar? I don’t even know what my transferable skills are

Hey, thanks for your response
I’m a strong relationship builder... and as for motivation I’m not totally sure, progression possibly. I like to have a reward for my work.
This makes me think something commission based might be what I need...0 -

Maybe consider a basic level business development or sales role? There are a lot of different businesses that sell things to the NHS (you must know about some!) which might be a good place to start looking.
As its a bit of a career change, you might expect a drop in salary - especially in your basic salary which is likely to be minimum wage in an entry level sales role (with commission hopeuflly taking it higher). But that's often a cost of a career change, and at 21k you are earning a reasonable amount, but are not so far up that an entry level role is unthinkable.0 -
