Health & Social Care Apprenticeships

Health & Social Care apprenticeships provide essential training for those delivering high-quality care and support. Designed for care workers, support staff, and healthcare professionals, these fully funded programmes develop skills in safeguarding, person-centred care, and leadership, helping organisations improve standards and meet industry demands.

Whether you’re starting your career in care or looking to enhance your team’s expertise, these apprenticeships equip learners and employers with the skills to deliver exceptional care and drive positive outcomes for individuals and communities.

Why Should Employers Offer a Health & Social Care Apprenticeship?

The health and social care sector is one of the UK’s most vital industries, providing essential support to individuals and communities. With an ageing population and increasing demand for skilled professionals, employers need a highly trained, compassionate, and dedicated workforce.

Hiring an apprentice in health and social care helps organisations develop competent, confident, and compassionate care professionals while addressing sector-wide skill shortages.
