Marvin OnumonuLiveCareer UK has identified more than 20 jobs that are set to remain secure as artificial intelligence (AI) changes the workplace.
The research found jobs that rely on human judgement, hands-on skill, and care are less likely to be replaced by machines.
Careers named include nurses, doctors, dentists, pharmacists, paramedics, counsellors and therapists, primary school teachers, social workers, specialist or secondary teachers, electricians, plumbers, bricklayers, carpenters, mechanics, graphic designers, journalists, chefs, personal trainers, cybersecurity specialists, police officers, and firefighters.
Jasmine Escalera, career expert at LiveCareer, said: “Across the UK, the roles proving most resilient to AI are also the ones struggling to attract talent.
“From healthcare and education to skilled trades, these roles rely on human judgement, empathy, and real-time problem solving – qualities that technology can support, but not replace.
“While AI is undoubtedly part of the future of work, careers rooted in care, creativity, and adaptability are not disappearing; they are becoming more essential than ever.”
