There are many ways you can be a fit for a position at the NHS, even if you have not worked in the exact role in the past. Review the job description and determine what skills are required, then think about the transferable skills you possess and how those can benefit the organisation, despite the industry background you may have. These skills could include technical abilities, communication skills, customer service experience, scheduling or billing-related positions, etc.

"While I have not worked as a medical secretary before, I have worked in the billing department of the local hospital. In this role, I learned a lot of medical terminology and acronyms that would be useful in the secretary role. I also worked closely with GPs, consultants, and patients, so I understand how medical facilities function and collaborate and work well with others. I have strong communication skills from working with the public so often and interacting in person and on the telephone. I'm very customer-centric, ensuring they have a positive experience when they interact with our office. My typing skills are excellent, and I use many office software programs and equipment."
