The NHS is the largest employer in the UK, with over 1.7 million people employed in various roles. When clinical and non-clinical workers were asked why they enjoyed working for the NHS for a blog article, one of the main reasons reported was the sense of satisfaction they felt knowing they are caring for people. Contributing to the well-being and health of thousands of people every day is why many chose to pursue a career with the NHS rather than working a typical office job. Other reasons employees enjoy working for the NHS are because of its core values, flexible schedules, pay and benefits, and room for professional growth. While you may have chosen to apply to the NHS because of the salary or benefits, it is best to avoid telling that to the interviewers, as you may look like you are in nursing for the wrong reasons.

"I chose to apply to the NHS because I want to work for an organization that respects its employees and makes them feel like family. I like that you offer childcare, flexible schedules, and encourage professional growth. Your core values resonate with my values and morals, and I cannot think of another company I would rather spend the rest of my career working for."
