If you are looking to make your experience count, let’s look at the highest-paying roles that are creating the fastest career opportunities and hiring the most in the New Year.
The skills and experience recruiters will look for now – and in the future, will be based on factors such as population, urbanization, economic activity and upward trends.
So, to find out if it’s time to retrain for future success, here are the 10 best careers to go into in the New Year…
- Healthcare Professionals
- As people live longer, we will need doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and also physiotherapy assistants to look after us.

- Engineers
- More and more people are moving back to cities to work and live. To accommodate them, we’ll need electrical engineers to wire our smart homes, civil engineers to design our roads, software engineers to connect streetlights to the internet, and environmental engineers to power them which is why this industry needs more engineers in order to evolve.

- Data Scientists
- According to research from Glassdoor, Data Scientists are the fifth most in demand jobs in the UK offering salaries pushing up against £50,000p/a. This might not come as much of a surprise. The modern internet is awash with data so understanding and analysing that data requires proficiency in a few different programs, many of which are household names. MS Excel for example is super powerful and if you can really get to grips with it, you’ll be highly desirable to employers.
