Higher and degree apprenticeships are a new government initiative enabling you, as an employer, to get significant funding towards the cost of an apprenticeship to recruit new staff or develop existing employees.

How it worksYour apprentice should normally be employed at least 30 hours a week, working in a health and/or social care setting.They will be in employment in a health-related role while studying part time for a work-based foundation degree in health and social care practice. The higher apprenticeship offers the opportunity for your employee to extend their clinical skills and to develop their understanding of the theory underpinning practice.

Benefits to you The course has been developed in consultation with senior managers and employers to meet the education and training requirements of assistant/support workers across all health and social care services. It offers a range of modules to support their continuing personal and professional development in health, social or community care. Routes currently available include (subject to demand); radiography, adult nursing, mental health nursing, learning disabilities nursing, rehabilitation and perioperative care.

Higher Apprenticeship Health (Assistant Practitioner)

Fees and funding

Higher and degree apprenticeships are funded by employers and the government in one of two ways:

• Apprenticeship levy-paying employers (those with pay bills over £3m) pay for apprenticeship training from their online levy accounts through the government’s new apprenticeship service. They also receive a 10% government top-up to their online accounts.

• Non-levy payers only pay 10% of the cost of apprenticeship training with the remaining 90% being paid by the government.

Your role> Provide your employee with opportunities to develop in

practice, and to evidence knowledge and skills gained.> Release your employee to attend external

off-the-job training and assessment as part of their paid working hours.

> Provide a workplace mentor for your employee.

Entry requirements

You set the general internal selection criteria but your employee also need to meet the entry requirements specified by the University.
