You have the opportunity to access fully funded apprenticeship qualifications. Although General Practices and Care and Care with Nursing Homes don’t pay into the Apprenticeship Levy, Greater Manchester Training Hub (GMTH) will support with funding 100% of the course fees with arranging gifting of the apprenticeship levy. However, if asked to fund 5% of the course cost, please contact Education & Training (Stockport) to support the levy gifting by email – gmicb-sto.learningdevelopment@nhs.net (prior to signing up). This could be for existing employees or you could consider employing a new Apprentice. The apprenticeship providers below will be able to help you with any necessary recruitment.
Apprenticeships can be completed from Level 2 (equivalent to GCSE Level) to Level 7 (equivalent to degree level) and cover a wide range of subject areas from accountancy, leadership and management to clinical skills apprenticeships or hospitality. They take in the region of 18 months to complete but they are mainly work-based qualifications. Providers will visit the place of work and support the learner in their working environment to help them complete the programme and assess their achievement against the framework. There may be a need for some elements of the programme to be completed out of the workplace for example to complete the maths and English workshops and examinations, if required.
