We are committed to developing a talented and skilled workforce and actively promote training and development within the organisation.
A clear element to us becoming an ‘Employer of Choice’ is to home grow our workforce of the future. Apprenticeships enable us to do this.
We're committed to supporting local people and our existing workforce through apprenticeship qualifications, as we recognise the huge value this adds to our organisation.
Apprenticeship opportunities are available to existing staff to help them develop their career and gain valuable skills and qualifications. We offer some opportunities for individuals to start their career with us as an apprentice. Any available entry apprenticeship opportunities will be advertised on our vacancies’ webpage: https://www.mse.nhs.uk/current-vacancies.
Apprenticeships can be studied in a range of occupational areas, including:
There are fourteen recognised allied health professions that play a crucial role in treating, rehabilitating, and improving the lives of patients. The Allied Health Professions (AHPs) are the third largest workforce in the NHS.
AHPs provide system-wide care to assess, treat, diagnose, and discharge patients across social care, housing, education, and independent and voluntary sectors. Through adopting a holistic approach to healthcare, AHPs can help manage patients’ care throughout the life course from birth to palliative care. Their focus is on prevention and improvement of health and wellbeing to maximise the potential for individuals to live full and active lives within their family circles, social networks, education/training, and the workplace.

Are you highly organised and enjoy problem solving? If you want to support the work of the NHS without caring directly for patients, you can develop your administrative career through a business-related apprenticeship:
You can apply for an entry-level administrative role.
If you’re successful, you’ll be recruited and complete your six-month probation.
You can discuss your career development with your line manager and identify a suitable apprenticeship – for example, L3 Business Administrator, L3 Data Technician, L3 Team Leader or Supervisor.
With the support of your line manager, you will complete the apprenticeship programme (typically, 1-2 years duration).
On completion of the apprenticeship, you can discuss progression opportunities with your manager – by securing a more senior role, you can study higher-level apprenticeships in leadership and management to further develop your professional skills and develop your career.
If you are interested in starting a career with us in clinical or non-clinical roles, please visit our vacancies page to review and apply for both entry apprenticeship and substantive roles.
As someone who loves seeing our staff grow, the apprenticeship programme is a fantastic opportunity to have a brighter future within the NHS. Our non-qualified healthcare professionals get offered this amazing opportunity to improve their skills, knowledge and behaviour, so they can provide better care to our patients.
The programme also adapts to the modern lifestyles, as those enrolled can work and study at the same, which makes for a very attractive offer that help us with our retention levels.
