Apprenticeships in England
This page gives an overview of apprenticeships and their relevance to the NHS in England.

Background
Apprenticeships provide routes into a variety of careers, including many in the NHS, and offer the opportunity to earn, learn and achieve nationally recognised qualifications at the same time. They are for people looking for a job that enables them to carry on learning, and for those already in employment who want to gain further qualifications.

What is available?
Apprenticeships may be offered by individual NHS employers (such as trusts and health authorities), and by other non-NHS employers and organisations. Apprenticeships are offered in many different types of work, grouped in occupational sectors. Weve listed below some of the apprenticeships that could be relevant to the NHS, but other sectors are also available. Administration and human resources (including business administration) Construction (including bricklaying, wall and floor tiling, carpentry and joinery, floor covering, painting and decorating, building technician, and plastering) Customer services and retail (including contact centres and customer service) Electrical and engineering (including building services, heating and ventilating, mechanical engineering) Financial services (including accounting and payroll) Hospitality and travel (including hospitality and catering) Information technology and communications (including IT user, marketing and communications) Logistics (including purchasing and supply management, warehousing and storage) Management Property (including cleaning and support service industry) Health, public services and care (including dental nursing, clinical support workers, healthcare assistants, occupational therapy assistants, dietetic assistants, physiotherapy assistants, radiotherapy assistants, pharmacy assistants and pharmacy technicians)

You can read some case studies of staff who have entered the NHS through an apprenticeship. Ben Yeates did an engineering apprenticeship; Paul Mallett did one as a dental technician; Dave Martin followed an apprenticeship in dental therapy and John Wheeler in painting and decorating. For an overview of the full range on offer, visit the apprenticeships website If you are interested in looking for a job which includes an apprenticeship, then log onto the National Vacancy Matching Service If you are an existing employee and would like to undertake an apprenticeship, then contact your manager/human resources department.

Content and structure

There are three levels of apprenticeships available: intermediate apprenticeships advanced apprenticeships higher apprenticeships

Intermediate Apprenticeships - Level 2 (equivalent to five good GCSE passes)

Apprentices work towards a work-based learning qualification such as an QCF/NVQ Level 2, Key Skills and in some cases a relevant technical certificate. These provide the skills you need for your chosen career and allow entry to advanced apprenticeships. Advanced apprenticeships - Level 3+ (equivalent to two A level passes or more) Advanced apprentices work towards a work-based learning qualification such as a QCF/NVQ Level 3+, Key Skills and in some cases a relevant technical certificate. To start this programme, you should ideally have five GCSEs (grade C or above) or have completed an apprenticeship. Higher apprenticeships - Level 4+ (equivalent to a higher national certificate) Higher apprentices work towards work-based learning qualifications such as QCF/NVQ Level 4 and, in some cases, a knowledge-based qualification such as a foundation degree.

Pay
Apprenticeships take between one and four years to complete, depending on the type of framework/programme. There is no set time to complete an apprenticeship as they vary widely in content and size. The length of time taken depends on the ability of the individual apprentice and the employer's requirements. All employed apprentices will be paid a minimum of the National Minimum Wage (NMW) of 2.60 per hour (as at 3-10-11). However, as skills develop, many employers tend to increase wages in fact, research has found that apprentices earn an average of 170 net pay per week The apprentice NMW applies to all 16 to 18 year olds and to those aged 19 and over in the first year of their Apprenticeship. If the apprentice reaches 19 years-old and has completed the first year of their Apprenticeship their employer must pay them at least the full NMW rate for those aged 18 to 20. If they are already 19 and have completed the first year of their Apprenticeship they must be paid at least the NMW rate for their age. Apprentices usually receive the same benefits as other employees such as pension contributions, subsidised canteen and leisure facilities (if available).

Getting in
Apprenticeships are available in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England, however each has a separate funding body. The information on this page relates only to those who are living and working in England and are not in full-time education. There may also be different entry requirements for apprenticeships depending on the occupational sector. Apprenticeships are open to all age groups (above 16 years) whether you are just leaving school, have been working for years or are seeking to start a new career. Competition for places with employers can be fierce, so you will need to show that you are committed, and aware of your responsibilities to both yourself and the company who would employ you.

You also need to be happy to work as both part of a team and individually, and be able to use your own initiative. They allow you to start work and earn a decent wage, while learning new skills that will lead to nationally recognised qualifications.

What happens at the end of the apprenticeship?

If your apprenticeship is with the NHS itself or another employer, then you may be offered permanent employment at the end of the apprenticeship period. You should always check with your apprenticeship provider to find out exactly what they are offering. If you want to work for the NHS and have completed a relevant apprenticeship with another employer, then you can search for job vacancies by visiting the NHS Jobs website. When you see a vacancy that interests you, check the person specification to ensure that your experience and qualifications meet the criteria stated. Some components of apprenticeships attract UCAS points and can lead onto a university course such as a foundation degree. Check with the apprenticeship provider for details.
