Modern Apprenticeships

NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde are keen to ensure that we have an appropriately skilled workforce to meet current and future service demands, and one that represents the patient population we serve

In an NHSGGC apprenticeship you will be working in a real job and working towards a real qualification.

Our apprentices develop their knowledge and skills on the job, and gain nationally recognised qualifications.  We view apprenticeship as just the start of a much longer term career within the NHS and once you’ve successfully completed your apprenticeship, we will support you to transition into permanent employment.

Our Apprentices are paid at least the Scottish Living Wage (£9.50 per hour) with many earning above that level and are NHS Employees with the same benefits, allowances, annual leave entitlement and pension  as all our staff.

Our Apprenticeships are open to anyone living in Scotland aged between 16 and 24 years (or 16 to 29 years for candidates with a disability or who are care experienced*)  in line with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Youth Employment Plan and in support of our Workforce Demographics and projections.

*  The term “care experienced” refers to anyone who has been, or is currently in care.  This includes kinship care where you are living/lived with a relative who is not your parent, or looked after with the help of social work, or living/lived in Residential care, Foster care, Secure care or Adoption.

Applications for the University of Glasgow Sutton Trust Summer School 2022 are open!

The programme will run from 1^st – 5^th August 2022 and is open to pupils who will have just completed S5 and are continuing to S6. This is a residential course and an ‘in-person experience’ is planned, so pupils would stay on the campus for the week from Monday evening and leave to go home on Friday afternoon. All costs including accommodation, travel and food are covered by the Sutton Trust and the University of Glasgow. Running the week in person is, of course, dependent on COVID restrictions both at the University and Government levels, and if current conditions change, the week will run online.

The five subject streams available for 2022 are:

• Arts and Humanities

• Engineering

• Medical Studies & Life Sciences

• Life Sciences

• Social Sciences

Further detail can be found on the website HERE

Throughout the week, pupils will attend academic workshops and they will take part in a robust Academic Skills programme to help prepare them for the academic side of university. If a pupil subsequently applies to the University of Glasgow, successful completion of the Sutton Trust Summer School and Academic Skills Module could lead to an adjusted offer of entry.

They will have access to a range of academics, postgraduate tutors and undergraduate students who they can ask all their questions about what to expect at University. They will also attend talks about student life, student support and finance, and social activities will be provided in the evenings. Applications are now open and will close at midday on Wednesday 9th March. Students must apply on the Sutton Trust website – HERE!

Pupils will be asked if they meet eligibility criteria, which are a bit broader than the widening participation criteria we normally employ, opening this opportunity up to more pupils. The eligibility criteria are:

• Are studying in S5

• Attend, and have always attended, a state-funded school or college (non-fee paying) in the UK

• Would be in the first generation of their family to attend university

• Have been eligible for free school meals at any point during their secondary schooling

• Attend a school or college with a below-average Higher point score and/or a low rate of progression to higher education

• Live in a neighbourhood with a low rate of progression to higher education and/or a high level of socio-economic deprivation

• Have achieved at least five A or B passes at National 5, and where applicable, taken subjects relevant to the course applied for

• If pupils are (or have been) looked after, accommodated or in care, they only need to meet the age, school and academic requirements.

Pupils are not expected to meet all these criteria but should indicate on their application those they think are applicable to them. Pupils will also be asked to list a teacher as a reference – the teacher will be expected to verify the pupil meets some or all of the criteria listed.

If you have any queries or would like any further information, please contact Hannah Kouris at wpsummerschool@glasgow.ac.uk
