Earn while you learn with our Healthcare Support Worker Apprenticeship

Do you want to embark on a career in healthcare and earn while you learn? Our new Healthcare Support Worker (HCSW) Apprenticeship will provide a mix of on-the-job training and learning that will lead to employment as a HCSW.

The HCSW Apprenticeship is a formal 18-month training role designed to provide apprentices with the knowledge, skills and work experience needed to progress into a HCSW role. Working alongside experienced healthcare professionals and under the supervision of a Registered Nurse, apprentices will assist in providing high-quality and compassionate care to patients by supporting with personal care, meals and mobility.

Once apprentices have completed their HCSW Apprenticeship, they will be awarded a level 2 apprenticeship qualification and will be guaranteed an interview for a Band 2 Healthcare Support Worker post.

HCSWs play a vital role in providing care to patients and work in a range of settings such as hospitals, general practice and as part of a community team. The role can also lead to a range of exciting career opportunities in nursing and midwifery.

Please note, if you are already degree qualified you will be unable to apply due to Welsh Government funding criteria on the level 2 qualification.
