Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are a way to gain the skills, knowledge and experience you need to get into your chosen career, while you study. They are available throughout your working life - from leaving school until you retire.

Types of apprenticeships

We offer a number of different opportunities for you to join our organisation as an apprentice within the NHS, giving you the chance to earn a salary while you learn.

As one of the largest commissioning support organisations, with clients throughout England, we can offer you apprenticeship opportunities in a variety of roles covering both clinical and non-clinical disciplines. We find our most popular apprenticeships are in non-clinical roles such as finance, human resources, business analytics, IT and procurement, but whatever you’re interested in we’d love to hear from you.

We offer three different types of apprenticeships and typically aim to recruit up to 50 apprentices each year.

Whatever apprenticeship you choose, you will work towards nationally recognised qualifications as well as gaining invaluable real-life workplace skills and experience.
