The NHS apprenticeships offering a new route to health and social care

The NHS apprenticeships offering a new route to health and social care As health and social care faces ongoing recruitment woes, new degree-level apprenticeships put clinical careers back in reach for more applicants

The first degree-level apprenticeships in physiotherapy and occupational therapy are due to be launched in April, offering an alternative earn-while-you-learn route to professional qualification. And this autumn the first apprentices are expected to start the new degree-level qualification in social work.

These new professional apprenticeships are creating alternative career paths in health and social care and are also addressing the continuing workforce recruitment and retention problems. They fit alongside a growing and diverse portfolio of other new lower-level apprenticeships. The NHS alone has 350 different job roles – 120 of which have an apprenticeship route, 30 are degree-level.

In the past, people may have seen apprenticeships for those with low skills and no qualifications

If you are put through training to progress and are getting paid, you are more likely to stay. The Guardian
