Airedale NHS Foundation Trust offers apprenticeships in a wide range of departments.  Further national guidance about apprenticeships can be found from the following links:

• Health Careers
• Step into the NHS
• Become an Apprentice - Government site which includes details of minimum pay and terms & conditions of apprenticeships.

Airedale NHS Foundation Trust contributes to the Apprentice Levy and uses the levy funding to support apprenticeships in several different ways:

• Supporting existing staff with their training and development needs.
• Recruiting new staff to apprenticeships on training contracts and supporting their training and development needs. Apprentices recruited in this way should normally expect to be offered a permanent position at the end of their training contract subject to the satisfactory completion of all aspects of the apprenticeship.
  

All apprenticeships for new staff at the Trust will be advertised via the Trust's vacancies site.

Most apprenticeships will be advertised as and when opportunities arise and some examples include the following roles:

• Clinical Coder
• Procurement Administrative Assistant
• Pharmacy Technician
• Day Nursery Practitioner
• Education Administration
• Human Resources Administration

The Trust also has a regular recruitment programme for Apprentice Health Care Support Workers (HCSWs). Recruitment to these posts will be in small groups, two to three times each year.  For further information about our Apprentice HCSW programme follow this link – Apprentice HCSW Programme
