Job description

Are you keen to commence a rewarding career in nursing? An opportunity exists for enthusiastic and motivated individuals to undertake the Foundation Degree Science (FDSc) Nursing Associate via an Apprenticeship.

The Nursing Associate is placed within the nursing team that supports the registered nurse as part of the multi-professional team. This programme will provide you with the opportunity develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours associated with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Standards for Nursing Associate and register with the NMC on Part 2 of the Register. The Nursing Associate also provides you with a steppingstone to Part 1 Registration with the NMC as a Registered Nurse.

This is a full time post, based at Leicester Glenfield Hospital.

To qualify for the apprenticeship role the minimum criteria is: -

• You must have GCSE in English and Maths
• Have not completed an apprenticeship at the same level and sector in the past.
• You do not have a Degree in a similar or same subject

The Nursing Associate programme combines and integrates both academic and work-based learning through close collaboration between employers and education providers. An apprentice Nursing Associate will be based, as an employee, in a particular organisation, in a specific setting, but will experience working in alternative settings in order that they gain a wide appreciation of many health and care contexts and are able to fulfil all the requirements of the programme.

At the end of the programme, the apprentice Nursing Associate will be equipped with the knowledge, understanding, skills, attitudes and behaviours relevant to employment as a Nursing Associate and will work to a nationally recognised code of conduct.

As an Apprentice Nursing Associate you will join a dynamic nursing team including Health Care Assistants, Registered Nurses who are keen to support person centred, high quality care. You will be part of a team including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dieticians and medics all working together to provide patients with safe care. This role provides you with the opportunity for extensive career development whilst being supported in both practice and the academic setting.

The programme emphasises the role that Apprentice Nursing Associates can play in life-course (pre-conception to end of life) approaches towards health and well-being and the ways in which they actively contribute to the delivery of holistic care. Holistic care, across life-course, is a whole-person approach which considers, and equally values, physical, psychological and public health needs, learning disabilities, social, economic, spiritual and other factors in the assessing, planning and delivery of care.

Throughout the programme you will be supported to deliver high quality, compassionate care under the direction of a Registered Nurse (or other registered care professional dependent on setting) with a focus on promoting health and independence
