Hi,
I have 10 yrs of experience working at management level in the NHS (non clinical)
Other than taking my boss' role there is no progression. They are due to retire in 3 yrs but I honestly wouldn't want the job.
I have been looking elsewhere but am finding it difficult to apply for management roles as I have no management qualifications.
I am unable to take a pay cut and cannot retrain as that would also mean a pay cut plus have no idea what I would do as never had a dream job idea.
So I'm wondering if I should look at completing an ILM Level 5 in Leadership & Management certificate course. It's around 1k over 9 months in my own time.
It's a lot of money but I have savings or could pay monthly.
Anyone completed this course, did it help you?
Or have you favoured an applicant because they have this qualification?
Any advice welcome.
