Job description
Join us at Northamptonshire Healthcare Foundation Trust (NHFT) as an apprentice and train to become a qualified Occupational Therapist, gaining a BSc Hons Degree in Occupational Therapy whilst you work.
The post is a blend of learning between the workplace (4 days per week) and the University (1 day per week). Three full time practice placements will also be completed over the course of the degree to provide required experience in other clinical settings or organisations.
The occupational therapy apprenticeship with NHFT is an attractive package - it is fully salaried with training costs covered throughout the 3-year university programme meaning a comparable saving of approximately £29,000 against full time entry route students.
This post is suitable for:
- School leavers 18 and over who wish to complete a degree
- People working in a caring role, looking for their next career step
- People looking for a complete career change (mature students welcome)
Applicants must ensure they understand the content and entry requirements for undertaking the University of Northampton's degree programme(found in the application guidance document).
ALL APPLICANTS must send copies of all relevant qualification certificates, stating they are applying for an NHFT apprentice position [email protected] to confirm they meet the qualification entry criteria - applications cannot progress without this.
