Jobs in radiography are now easier than ever to find
Given that the NHS is Britain’s biggest employer (and given it is not the only provider of healthcare, although certainly the biggest by far), it is not surprising that the recruitment of appropriate staff is a massive task. The simple law of averages dictates that people will want to move between posts and, very often, different parts of the country, making finding candidates for allied health jobs an ongoing headache for personnel departments in both the NHS and other organisations. Thankfully for both the poor folk in personnel and the time-short job-seeker, it is now far easier to locate anything from jobs in occupational therapy to jobs in radiography, due to two key advances of recent years.
The first of these is, of course, the internet, a tool perfectly designed for the unwillingly-uprooted spouse trawling for jobs in occupational therapy in a new part of the country or the ambitious career-climber, willing to spend hours searching for career-enhancing jobs in radiography. It’s a far cry from the bad old days when subscribing to the local paper in a faraway area or numerous telephone calls with several potential new employers was necessary if one was to keep afoot of new openings. These days, searches can be precisely tailored and narrowed down to avoid trawling through lists of other allied health jobs in the hunt for the one which will fit a candidate’s qualifications, experience and aspirations.
The other development, which has been mimicked across many other fields of public service personnel, is the proliferation of specialist recruitment agencies who are usually able to match candidates to openings with more speed and less effort and cost than traditional personnel departments would be able to through traditional advertising. In fact, the growth of these companies, such as About Health Professionals, an off-shoot of the well-regarded Sanctuary Personnel, is intrinsically linked with the new ways in which we look for work. Their web-site offers features most of us now take for granted when job-hunting: precise search functions with several different search parameters, e-mail alerts for suitable posts and the option to upload a CV for potential employers to consider.
This also works well, of course, for the departments offering allied health jobs who are far more likely to find the right candidate if their jobs in radiography are being scanned by candidates across the country, their search for dieticians is nation-wide with no further effort or expense than if it wasn’t and their jobs in occupational therapy are visible to those who maybe work for a neighbouring PCT but who are keen to move on to the next step in their careers. Given these huge advantages to both job-hunter and employer, It’s hard to remember how anyone managed before!
