Apprenticeships
Gain new qualifications and fulfil your potential with an apprenticeship!
An apprenticeship is a great opportunity to earn while you learn in the workplace. There are no entry requirements or age restrictions, so whether you’re looking for an alternative to university study or you’re pursuing a career change, an apprenticeship could be for you.
We offer successful values driven apprenticeship programmes. Our apprenticeships have enabled many young local people to access training and career development opportunities . The programme provides a set of recognised knowledge and vocational skills. Wherever you work and learn in our Partnership, you’ll be making a difference to the lives of more than a million patients every year.
Why apply?
When you are an apprentice you train to be fully competent in your chosen occupation whilst on a career pathway. You will also have additional support and mentoring from your line manager and our partner apprenticeship training providers, so you will always have someone to go to with questions or concerns. From the date you start your apprenticeship you will also be entitled to the same staff benefits as all Trust employees. At the end of the apprenticeship, the apprentice is awarded a nationally recognised qualification by passing the end point assessment.
What is the structure of an Apprenticeship?
Apprentices combine work based learning with a mix of on and off the job training. Apprenticeship standards are developed working with employers and practitioners to ensure that they meet the knowledge, skills and behaviours required for each role. There are a number of apprenticeships in the health sector designed for clinical and non clinical roles. Apprenticeships can lead to varied and unexpected career opportunities, so whether you know your career aspirations or you want to take time to work out which career path you want to pursue, an apprenticeship could be a great place to start.
How to apply
There are no formal entry requirements for our apprenticeship scheme and no maximum age limit. We are looking for people who are enthusiastic, eager to learn, enjoy meeting people from diverse backgrounds and who want to know that their work makes a difference. Our current apprenticeship vacancies are advertised on NHS Jobs.
