Since the pandemic, the recruitment industry and many others have seen a significant decrease in candidate applications and available workforce, with many having found new roles and learnt new skills. What hasn’t changed is the rising concern for career prospects, and in our latest blog, we look into the most in-demand roles for the core sectors covered by Elliot Scott Group.

‍

1. Healthcare Roles

It’s no secret that people live longer now than a few decades ago, which means healthcare professionals will always be in demand. Aside from doctors and nurses, healthcare assistants and cleaners are both highly sought-after job roles.

‍

Following Brexit and a change in the EU working law, the industry severely lacks good quality employees. Many are offering a higher financial reward to entice young professionals to enter the industry and older ones to return from retirement.

‍

2. Skilled Tradespeople

Skilled tradespeople are always in demand, and the UK is no exception. If you’re a carpenter, electrician, plumber or welder, plenty of jobs are waiting for you!

‍

While many worry about technology and the robotic evolution, skilled roles are likely to be safe. The construction industry, in particular, has been booming since the pandemic.

‍

Plumbers and electricians are particularly in demand, and as innovative technology continues to become popular, we have no doubt there will be more work.

‍

The job market for skilled tradespeople is competitive. Still, there are plenty of opportunities for those with the right skills and experience, and the team at Elliot Scott Group will be able to find you a role in no time!

3. Aviation roles

We’ve all seen the news covering long delays at airports due to staff shortages. Whether you’re looking to return to the industry or retrain and learn something new, we’re always crying out for baggage handlers, airport lounge hosts and check-in staff.

‍

Working at the airport comes with several benefits including shift patterns that work around your social life, fantastic discounts in airport retailers, and the buzz of working at the second largest airport in the UK. What more could you wish for?

‍

4. Engineers

Engineers are always in high demand, and UK companies are always looking for talented professionals to fill their roles.

‍

Like skilled tradespeople, you often don’t require a degree, and many skills are transferable; therefore, it’s straightforward to begin in the industry. We recommend talking to one of our dedicated account managers to discuss your skillset and what your next role might look like.

‍

Is this likely to change in the future?

‍

We all know that technology continues to evolve and there will be some changes in the future. Still, many professionals say that people will have more options if they’re willing to adapt their skills.

‍

While we can’t be sure what the future holds, it’s more likely that low-skilled jobs such as delivery and service roles will become automated.

‍

For skilled tradespeople, the future holds more exciting opportunities and the ability to combine technological advancements with your day-to-day jobs.
