An apprenticeship is a job with training. Through an apprenticeship, an apprentice will gain the technical knowledge, practical experience and wider skills and behaviours that they need for their immediate job and future career.
​
Apprenticeships can be used as a staff development tool and a way for existing staff to achieve a nationally recognised qualification. Apprenticeships are not just for young people starting out in the workplace they are for everyone who wishes to develop in their current role or start a new career whatever their age or existing qualification level. The Trust currently has over 250 staff enrolled onto an apprenticeship ranging from level 2 to level 7 qualifications.
​
There are a range of clinical and non-clinical apprenticeships available.
If you are interested in undertaking an apprenticeship as your route of study please take a look on the Institute of Apprenticeships & Technical Education Website for detailed information about all of the standards available.
​
The Trusts Apprenticeships Team can also support staff and their managers to understand all aspects of an apprenticeship and talk you through the Trust processes for enrolment. Before contacting a training provider or advertising for an Apprenticeship post please speak to a member of the team as there are a number of guidelines that we must adhere to.
