Apprenticeships
An apprenticeship is a real job where you learn, gain experience and get paid. You’re an employee with a contract of employment and holiday leave. You can start an apprenticeship whether you’re starting your career, want a change or you're upskilling in your current job. You can have a previous qualification like a degree and still start an apprenticeship.By the end of an apprenticeship, you'll have the right skills and knowledge needed for your chosen career.
It can take between one and 6 years to complete an apprenticeship depending on which one you choose, what level it is and your previous experience. Apprenticeships are available for substantive staff at ELHT. Apprenticeships are linked to an accredited course from Level 2 (intermediate) – Level 7 (Master’s degree) covering both clinical and non-clinical job roles.
All apprenticeships include elements of on and off the job training; some apprenticeships also require an assessment at the end of the programme to assess the learner’s ability and competence in their job role. When substantive staff enrol on an apprenticeship programme their job role and salary are not affected.
