How to Become a Health Service Manager?

Health service managers are responsible for ensuring the health service they are working for runs smoothly and efficiently. They play a vital part in enabling healthcare providers to treat patients and clients, whether these are in the private healthcare sector or the NHS. What does a Health Service Manager do? Health service managers work within hospitals, GP practices, community healthcare services and other health service settings. They make sure the service is making the best use of their assets. These assets could include finances, premises, facilities, IT and clinical equipment. Some health service managers specialise in a particular area while others have more general roles that may involve overseeing an entire section or department. Health service management also frequently requires handling the personnel working within the service, which is why qualifications like level 7 human resource management could help you to gain the skills you will need. Typical duties for a general health service manager could include: • Supervising rotas • Overseeing the day-to-day operations of the service • Dealing with contracts • Liaising with clinical staff and professionals from other agencies • Devising and implementing business plans • Setting budgets and overseeing spending • Long-term planning for steering the organisation What’s the best way to get started? There are a number of different routes into this career. Some NHS and private healthcare services might run graduate schemes for new graduates with a degree, particularly in a health-related area. It is also possible to enter the role after taking vocational qualifications such as health and social care level 3 or a relevant level 4 qualification. You might be able to your way up from an administrative or clinical role within the NHS or the private healthcare sector, gaining the appropriate qualifications as you go.

 At the School of Business London you can work towards accredited qualifications like the aforementioned or a level 5 health and social care on a flexible schedule using the latest techniques in blended online learning.

A business management diploma can be a great way to kick-start a career in business and lays the groundwork for a very successful career for the ambitious individual. With anything up to  RQF level 6, you would be well positioned to embark on a career in many roles, including:

Business adviser

Business analyst

Data analyst

Insurance underwriter

Management consultant

Project manager

Your diploma could also be useful for roles in a wide range of other industries like construction, human resources, marketing, retail and finance. Employers will be impressed by your certification, particularly if you have a level 5 qualification or higher, but a diploma at any level will look great on your CV as you pursue a business career.

Getting work experience

With a business diploma under your belt, you have a varied list of career options to explore. Try to decide on an area you want to work in, and aim to get work experience relevant to that area. While you are studying, you can take part-time voluntary positions or internships, or even part-time paid employment in an appropriate role. Something that helps you develop financial skills and expand your knowledge of the necessary business functions in an organisation will be a valuable addition to your CV.

The value of a diploma

Under the old Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF), every qualification carried a numerical credit value based on the level of the skill. A diploma always came with the highest credit score, so even QCF level 3 or below could be a great thing to have on your CV. Now, we use the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which is a standard framework that dictates how different qualifications compare to one another. So a foundation level diploma up to RQF level 3 is good, but a level 4 qualification up to level 6 could help boost your career. It is just one step short of a degree.
