If you are seeking care jobs or if you are trying to break through into the carers industry as a career change then you may be interested to know that leaders have now called upon the health secretary to see if he is able to offer more support to nurse agency organisations across the UK. If you work as part of a nursing recruitment agency then you should know that this is actually the third time in a total of four months that the government have in fact appointed a health secretary. They have had a lot of U-turns and they have also had a lot of disruption too. The challenge for the health secretary was to try and demonstrate to care workers as well as to health professionals that he has in fact been able to learn from some of the earlier mistakes that he has made. He was appointed by Rishi Sunak on Tuesday and he has also served the role, although briefly, under Boris Johnson. Even though he has had a very short tenure, it is important to know that he wants to try and ramp up the amount of recruitment that is taking place overseas. He intends to do this as part of a very challenging winter.

He has also been in charge of the NHS Pay Body Review as well. This is to try and give NHS nurses a pay rise in general. At the end of the day, the Unions have called to try and get a pay rise that is above inflation rather than just being on the same level of it and this has actually led to a lot of frustration. Now it looks like progress could be made but only time will tell if this is going to be the case going into the future.
