There are a variety of jobs that you can do in a hospital from working in the kitchens or as a cleaner through to a trained doctor or nurse. With hospitals having to open and shut times, it may mean that if you want to work in a hospital you will need to be flexible in your working hours. This is especially true if you want to be a doctor or nurse as even on days off you may still be on call. You will often be expected to work through certain holidays such as Christmas and New year too as this can be a busy time for hospitals.

The rates of pay (especially for doctors) can be quite good but you will be expected to put the work in. Working as a doctor does not just involve looking after patients but there is also a lot of paperwork involved.
