Birmingham Community NHS Foundation Trust is pleased to offer this opportunity to apply for a Student Nursing Associates Apprenticeship.
Nursing Associates are a new regulated member of the nursing team in England. This role is designed to bridge the gap between health and care assistants and registered nurses.
The Nursing Associate training is a two-year course. Upon completion, you will gain a dual qualification, a level 5 higher apprenticeship and a Foundation Degree Science Nursing Associate.
You will be required to attend University one day a week and undertake practice placements to ensure that you develop the skills needed to care for people safely, with integrity, expertise, respect, and compassion. Registered Nursing Associate posts will be available to apprentices on successful completion of the course and registration with the NMC.
The Nursing Associate is a stand-alone role that will also provide a progression route into graduate level nursing.
Nursing Associates provide care for people of all ages and from different backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs. They provide care for people who have mental, physical, cognitive and behavioural care needs, those living with dementia, children and young people, the elderly, and for people at the end of their life. They care for people in their own home, in the community or hospital, or in any health care settings where their needs are supported and managed.
