Apprenticeships

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board have been participating in the Apprenticeship programme for many years. We are keen to widen opportunities for the local community by offering the apprenticeship programme to enable us to give local individuals the opportunity to work in healthcare without having the essential skills and experience.

Apprentices are employed to undertake a specific role, whilst supported to achieve a nationally recognised modern apprenticeship qualification. This can include a Health Care Support Worker role, an administration role, support services and many more opportunities.

We see apprenticeships as an opportunity to maximise the potential of our future workforce by engaging with our experienced staff, so that they pass on their skills and experiences to others and provide support to individuals through their learning.

Apprentices work towards knowledge and competence-based qualifications at Level 2 (such as an NVQ Level 2) together with Essential Skills.

Apprenticeships are a crucial way to develop our current and future workforce to ensure they are capable and competent in their role to ensure we can provide the best care possible to our patients.

There are lots of benefits of joining the apprenticeship programme including:

  • Earn while they learn – The apprentice doesn’t have to pay any course fees and earns a wage during their learning, as well as earning a nationally recognised qualification.
  • Support during training – Both the employer and training provider, provides the Apprentice with a range of support during the apprenticeship.
  • Progression – As apprenticeships are trained in the skills they need, there are clear routes to progression following their Apprenticeship.
