If you want to work in a fast paced environment where no two days are the same and where you can support an outstanding team to recruit candidates into a wide variety of roles across the whole hospital services, then we are the team to join.
You will be supported and mentored on a day to day basis throughout the apprenticeship, and will be offered one day study support to complete qualification.
We’re so proud of our team, all working closely together to ensure the work we do is the best it can be. There’s always a buzz in the air, with colleagues from all backgrounds ensuring that we have lots of different perspectives. We asked all team members what they wanted most out of work and they all said the same things – a supportive atmosphere doing a job that genuinely matters.
We offer a varied apprentice programme that will give you the skills and experiences you will need for either a role in recruitment or the wider NHS. Previous apprentices have gone on to become Recruitment Officers, Workforce Advisors and International Recruitment Officers
