Are you interested in becoming an apprentice at Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust?
Our apprenticeships are available to anyone over the age of 16 who meet the criteria.
An apprenticeship is a genuine job where you earn a wage, with an accompanying skills development programme. Apprentices gain the technical knowledge, practical experience and wider skills they need for their immediate job and future career and gain a nationally recognised qualification. Your course fees will be paid so there is no cost to you.

- Not in full time education
- You must be a citizen of the UK or have been an ordinary resident in the UK or European Economic Area (EEA) for at least the previous three years
- Graduates can apply, as long as it is in a different subject area to their degree and relevant to their current job
What courses are available?
Apprenticeships are available at all different levels from Level 2 to Level 7, and the courses are delivered by colleges, universities and other training organisations. The tuition fees are paid for by the organisation, meaning no student loan and are available in a broad range of subjects (both clinical and non-clinical) leading to many different occupations within the health sector.
