Ideas for NHS ‘planning to leave’ worker with 30 year service history

[ThatKookyQuoter]

After 30 years in the NHS, I want out. The workload we are expected to carry is just unmanageable. I signed up to do one job but have ended up doing the roles of 2 others who have left . I am working well over my hours and not compensated for it. I have only been with this trust a couple of years and it seems really bad (financially) but noticed my previous trust was going the same way. I’m not a nurse but work as a band 7 in a specialised field. Luckily, I have my fingers in another ‘pie’, sort of speak, and am hoping to use my experience/qualifications in that to jump to something else (quality management).

Ideally, I’d like a remote/hybrid role working out of London. Has anyone got any ideas or has done this OR even completely changed career? I’m on my own so need to aim for my current salary (if I can) - £56k. Or, is this just unrealistic? I have operational management and technical experience. I’m early 50’s so worried I am too old.

I don't have much advice but I'm in almost exactly the same position, though less years service. I have also thought about ops management, change management, CQC roles etc but tbh I would hate them. I am part clinical and that's the only bit of my job I enjoy, so the conclusion I came to was to start my own business in private work. I haven't, because it's not feasible - but it's a bit of a longer term plan.
All NHS trusts are the same, so an equivalent pay role in the NHS no matter what trust it is will be the same - everywhere is like you describe. The workload and expectations are totally unmanageable.
Other suggestions have been moving into research (some uni jobs allow hybrid working), disability advisor (but would be a pay drop). Depends what your NHS role is at the moment but I presume you are a clinical band 7?
