Love a career in healthcare?
A career in the healthcare & medical profession is often much more than a job. For many it’s a vocation, or a calling.
It takes a special type of person and a real commitment to what you are doing.
There are many, many different types of roles in the healthcare field from paramedic jobs to working in a pharmacy, hospital administration or nursing, but they all have one thing in common; all require a level of compassion and empathy that most other industries don’t.
Here are some of the categories you might think about:
- Aged Care
- Disabled Care
- Mental Health Care
- Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy & Rehabilitation
- Counseling
- Nursing
- Ambulance/Paramedic
- Chiropractic & Osteopathic
- Medical Research
- Dental
- Dietician
- Natural Therapies & Alternative Medicine
- Pathology
- Pharmaceutical & Medical Devices

Have a look at the Healthcare Job opportunities currently running on SEEK:
Obviously, many of these roles require certain qualifications and/or experience, so if you have the necessary qualifications, your choice of career will be a much simpler one.
However, if you find a particular path that really interests you, but you do not have the right qualifications, don’t let that stop you. Maybe you could do a course of study that will get you qualified? It’s never too late to take a new career path if you are sufficiently motivated.
Either way, have a look at what’s available and see what opportunities leap out at you.
You may just find that your job prospects are in better health than they ever have been before.
