Apprentice Nursing Associate

Mid Yorkshire Hospitals has a proven track record of providing excellent support to those entering the nursing profession in partnership with University. We have been recognised nationally for the support we have provided individuals during their studies and in the period when they are settling into employment.

Nursing Associates work as a vital part of the wider nursing team and this important role helps to bridge care between Healthcare Support Workers and Registered Nurses. The fundamental focus of the role is to deliver care for patients and the public.

Nursing Associate training includes a mixture of hands-on experience within the workplace, supported by some learning in the classroom

This is a 2 year Apprenticeship and at the end of your Apprentice Nursing Associate training, you will receive a foundation degree, and once you register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, you will become a fully registered Nursing Associate.

There are opportunities to develop in this role and it also provides a steppingstone to becoming a registered nurse.

Once you have completed your foundation degree, you have the opportunity to progress onto further education and become a Registered Nurse by completing a shortened Nursing Degree or Nursing Degree Apprenticeship.

Nursing Associates work in many different health and care settings, including hospitals, care homes, learning disabilities, general practice and in the community. Listen in on some of our Nursing Associate case studies.
