Are you interested in becoming an Apprentice at Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust?
Apprenticeships have changed nationally and are now much more widely available to anyone over the age of 16 who meets 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 with no cost to you.
