How do apprenticeships work?

Apprenticeships combine practical training within a job alongside study.

As an apprentice you will:

  • be an employee earning a wage and getting holiday pay
  • work alongside experienced staff
  • gain job-specific skills
  • time for training and study related to your role (at least 20% of your normal working hours)

Apprenticeships take 1 - 5 years to complete depending on the level. To find out more visit Gov.uk  

DREEAM promote apprenticeships as a talent management opportunity, to enable us to grow our own staff with the knowledge and skills needed to deliver the best service. You will see many examples below of those who have started their career in DREEAM and came to us as an apprentice or completed an apprenticeship while working full time in DREEAM or the Emergency Department.
