Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is an NHS employer that delivers a structured programme of apprenticeships and wider staff development across its hospital sites and clinics. The Trust offers apprenticeships as paid roles with formal training, combining workplace learning, off‑the‑job training and opportunities to practise new skills in real clinical and non‑clinical environments. Apprenticeships are available at levels from intermediate through to higher and degree level, aligned to nationally recognised standards and qualifications, with some programmes requiring an end‑point assessment to demonstrate occupational competence. Clinical apprenticeship pathways include nursing (from healthcare support worker through to advanced clinical practitioner), midwifery, allied health professions such as physiotherapy and occupational therapy, pharmacy roles including pharmacy technician, medical engineering and radiography/mammography. Non‑clinical apprenticeship opportunities cover business administration and management, human resources, customer service, project management, finance, accounting, procurement and supplies, data analysis and leadership at multiple levels. Entry criteria follow national apprenticeship eligibility, with specific requirements varying by role and level. Apprentices receive protected time for study and benefit from clear progression routes. The Trust also supports staff and students with on‑site library and knowledge services at its main locations, providing access to electronic and print resources to underpin education, lifelong learning, training, research and clinical practice.(chelwest.nhs.uk)
