Let’s focus on where the action is. These sectors are showing stronger resilience or growth — worth looking at if you’re job hunting or planning a move.
Healthcare & social care
With the UK’s ageing population and greater emphasis on mental health and public health services, healthcare and social care remain strong areas. LinkedIn
Roles range from nurses, care workers, mental-health professionals to allied health services. For international job-seekers with relevant qualifications, this can be a key area.
Information Technology & Data Analytics
Demand for tech-skills remains solid: AI, machine learning, data science, cybersecurity, cloud computing. One source noted a ~20% year-on-year surge in UK-job postings for AI/data roles in early May 2025. LinkedIn
If you have tech skills, this is a place where you can differentiate yourself.
Green energy & sustainability
As mentioned above: jobs tied to renewable energy (wind, solar, hydrogen), sustainability consulting, ESG compliance are growing. LinkedIn
These often require specialised technical or project-management skills, but they’re less saturated than “generic admin roles”.
Skilled trades and logistics
Some reports note that while vacancies generally are falling, certain sectors — like manufacturing, logistics, skilled trades — still face shortages of workers. Abruv
If you have hands-on skills, trade qualifications or specialised experience (e.g., in maintenance, engineering fitters, forklift driving), you might find opportunities here.
Finance, professional services & consulting
While not always “growth-boom” sectors in 2025, these fields continue to offer roles — especially for people with in-demand niches (e.g., financial regulation, risk, compliance, data analytics).
If you have specialist expertise, these are viable paths.
