The pension you get IS taxed...... but you do get state pension too when you reach 60...... but that is taxed too. I left the NHS at 55 after almost 30 years and although I don't have a lot of money I can get by because like Lettie I was sensible in putting a little something by to cover 'extras' and the unexpected. I wouldn't even do 10 hours for the NHS....... you are worked to death. You put something aside Lettie even if it is only a small amount..... you have time to accrue a nice little nest egg......and then go at 55 and ENJOY yourself.
