<h2>medical clerk.</h2>
<p>This is one of the best non-clinical roles in healthcare that doesn’t require working on the practical side of things.<br> <br> Medical clerks are an essential part of the healthcare industry as they sit at the frontline, dealing with all the day-to-day admin that guarantees doctors and <a href="/jobs/s-health/ss-nursing/">nurses </a>can do their jobs as effectively as possible.<br> <br> When it comes to this role, previous admin experience would be viewed as an advantage, but in most cases, sector-specific experience will not be considered a requirement.<br> <br> Building up a good level of medical knowledge means you’ll be able to specialise in certain areas, such as medical transcription, and progress to a higher position.<br> <br>Suitable for: those who want to make a difference and are highly organised.</p>
<h2>pharmacy trainee.</h2>
<p>If you’ve always loved the idea of an entry level pharmaceutical role, becoming a Pharmacy Trainee could be the perfect career move for you.<br> <br> You’ll be working under the supervision of a registered pharmacist, helping with prescriptions and over-the-counter medicines, as well as providing basic advice to customers.<br> <br> Great IT and communication skills are the two main requirements, so applying with a lack of previous pharmaceutical experience won’t hold you back.<br> <br> Trainee positions are offered to anyone aged 16 or over who may not be in full-time education.

<h2>dental assistant.</h2>
<p>For anyone looking to gain experience in the healthcare industry, becoming a Dental Assistant could be the way in. There are no set entry requirements attached to the role, but employers often favour a good attitude and a strong work ethic over any specific work experience.<br> <br> A good level of on-the-job training is also provided in dental support, and you’ll be encouraged to study in your spare time in an effort to start building your credentials.<br> <br> Typical duties for a Dental Assistant include sterilising equipment, helping with X-Rays, and general admin tasks – all of which lay the groundwork for anyone looking to pursue a long-term career in oral hygiene.<br> <br> Suitable for: anyone that’s passionate about teeth and cleanliness</p>
<h2>care worker.</h2>
<p>It’s important to keep in mind that not all healthcare roles take place within a hospital or clinical environment.<br><br> In fact, care worker roles come with a very high level of satisfaction - a <a href="/the-pride-and-rewards-of-working-in-care/">whopping 94.7% of carers are proud</a> to work in the sector.<br><br> And demand for care workers is consistently high across the country. These workers are similar to <a href="/jobs/s-social-care/r-care-assistant/">Care Assistants</a>, but primarily operate within a client’s home. The position involves providing patients with support and attentiveness when dealing with their health issues.<br><br> But becoming a Care Worker can be competitive – volunteering, or even having personal experience in providing care, will be enough to get your foot on the ladder. You can then choose to progress in your career by taking a part-time qualification to amplify your qualifications.<br><br> Suitable for: those who love taking care of others</p>
