To enter most healthcare management roles you will need a degree, though this might need to be specifically in healthcare management, if you have relevant previous experience from another sector. If you do not yet have these qualifications, you could look at healthcare administration roles with lower requirements.

Healthcare management is a great role for people who are organised and have management skills, as well as people with good interpersonal skills and communication skills. At Akeso Healthsearch, we take a strength-based approach to candidate placement to make sure that you get a great job that suits your skills.

Healthcare managers work in every part of the healthcare service, from hospitals to GP surgeries, making sure the delivery of services is smooth and that their team is supported to assist people with all their health-related needs. This means you could work in a large bustling hospital environment, or at a smaller practice.

Healthcare managers often manage a team that includes multiple healthcare administration professionals, working closely with clinical staff in the organisation.
