## FAQs

### What qualifications do I need for NHS administrative roles?

Requirements vary by role. Entry-level positions may require GCSEs and basic IT skills, while senior roles may require degrees or professional qualifications. Experience with NHS systems is often preferred.

### What is the salary range for NHS administrative roles?

Under the 2026/27 pay scale, NHS administrative roles range from Band 2-3 (£25,000-£27,000) for entry-level positions to Band 6-7 (£40,000-£57,000) for senior administrative or IT specialist roles.

### What career progression is available in NHS administration?

NHS administrative staff can progress from admin assistants to team leaders, service managers, and heads of department. IT staff can progress to senior technical roles, project managers, or IT directors.

### What IT skills are needed for NHS IT roles?

NHS IT roles require skills in relevant technologies (networks, databases, applications) and knowledge of NHS systems. Digital transformation roles may require experience with EPR systems, data analytics, or clinical informatics.

### Do NHS admin roles involve patient contact?

Many do. Medical secretaries, patient pathway coordinators, clinic receptionists, and booking teams interact directly with patients by phone, letter, or in person. Applications for these roles should show evidence of handling confidential information, communicating sensitively, and managing competing priorities. Back-office admin, finance, and IT roles have less or no patient contact.

### What NHS-specific systems should I know about?

Common NHS systems include EMIS and SystmOne (GP and community clinical records), Cerner and Epic (hospital electronic patient records), Lorenzo and Meditech (older hospital systems), ESR (Electronic Staff Record for HR/payroll), and Trac (recruitment). You do not need to know every system before applying, but mentioning relevant system experience in your application can strengthen it.
