Vacancies
We are starting to see more direct recruitment onto Nurse Associate Apprenticeships. This means that students wouldn’t need to go to University to start their Nurse training, they could do it on the job with training alongside this. All the vacancies listed below ask for a minimum of one year’s experience, but I wanted to post this up to encourage any students thinking of Nursing, but who are put off by the University element of it. Have a look at the roles details on the link and contact Carol, the College’s Careers Adviser if you have further questions Results – Find an apprenticeship (findapprenticeship.service.gov.uk)
