NHS Apprenticeships - The Hidden Gems

An apprenticeship consists of:
  • knowledge and competency-based qualifications at Level 2 or 3 in your chosen subject
  • a learning programme tailored to your needs
  • literacy, numeracy and, for some apprenticeship frameworks, IT qualifications
  • in-house induction and work-specific mandatory training
  • regular personal development reviews.

The programme consists of both theory and practice, so much of your learning is assessed on the Ward or in the Department.

The OUH young apprenticeship programme offers a fixed-term contract with training and assessment provided by locally-based established training providers, a work-based supervisor, a manager and the OUH Support Worker Academy.

We're looking for enthusiastic and committed people who want to be part of our team.
