What NHS jobs can I get after GCSEs?

In the future, I plan on studying medicine, I've just completed 3 weeks' work experience in a GP practice. I really enjoyed it and it's made me want to get a part-time job in the NHS while I'm at 6th form.
What sort of jobs would I be able to do? Would they even take a college student? I'm willing to do anything, porter, ward clerk, admin etc.

Well I am no fan of doing Medicine at uni, but I think the only jobs available will be receptionists and...cleaners?

Thanks for replying. Do you mind me asking why you're not a fan of it?
It does seem like there are (or were, the thread was from like 8 years back) some college students who have part time jobs at the NHS ranging from healthcare assistant to more general jobs like receptionists and data entry etc. I'd look through NHS jobs to see if you can find anything in your area

I simply do not have any interests in it, it is a cool subject I admit since you are learning how to save people's lives but with me I am just not that into it. Besides getting in Medicine you need As and A*s across the board (which I really lack), loads of work experience and the course itself is really long.
I have heard after completing your medicine degree you have to spend another 4 years specialising in what branch of medicine you want to be in. It's really time consuming
And I don't like cutting dead bodies
