Why Choose Apprenticeships
Joanne Rockliff
I chose this specific apprenticeship because I grew up on a farm, so I’ve always been around the engineering mechanics background, so I’ve always enjoyed tinkering with things always fixing things and things like that and I also have a love for science as well so that’s why I did a biomedical science at College. Them two aspects together just created the perfect apprenticeship.
Larissa Thornley Johnston
I chose the clinical support work apprenticeship because it was the first step on the path to becoming a registered nurse.
Alex Diggles
I became an apprentice in the middle of 2021. I had had some conversations with some senior colleagues about my career and where I wanted to end up and I received some advice that a postgraduate qualification would be beneficial in order for me to achieve my career ambitions. I had a few conversations with colleagues and with people who done similar qualifications, had a look what was out there in the education sector and decided that going through organisational learning and doing a Level seven apprenticeship through the trust was the best option for me.

Career Progression
Joanne Rockliff
My apprenticeship will help me in my career progression as I am working alongside healthcare professionals every day who help me learn on the job.
Gesnia
I see my apprenticeship helping me massively. I’ve learned so much about Healthcare and just being on the wards and working with colleagues and knowing how a thing works and knowing the Leeds Way values and understanding the care certificate really gives me a foundation onto the next step.
Larissa Thornley Johnston
I chose this apprenticeship because I was always eager to join the medical field, I was going to study nursing at University but I prefer to learn things more practically and I feel as though it’s the best route because I can earn a living while learning and there’s also a variety of like specialities and progression routes that I can take after I finish my apprenticeship.
If you’re hands on like me I encourage you to do this apprenticeship. If you’re not entirely sure about going to University and learning from a textbook I think this is the best career pathway to go down. I’d go for it. I was scared at first because of my age. I’m kind of classed as a mature student now and I know a lot of the people that was on the course were a lot younger than me, but they kind of look up to you sometimes and you seem to get asked lots of questions. I feel really confident. Anybody who’s thinking about doing it, it’s a fantastic place to work, colleagues are supportive, there’s things out there, resources to help you all the time.
Alex Diggles
Already in my apprenticeship I have a lot of experience in being able to communicate and work with many individuals such as Electronics team, mechanical team and clinical Computing. My plan after I complete the level four apprenticeship is moving on to the degree apprenticeship and progressing in my career as an engineer.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
My advice to anyone thinking of doing the senior leader apprenticeship would be that it’s a lot of work. There is a lot of time and effort and pain involved in it but it’s all worthwhile. There have been some fantastic tools that I’ve picked up through the course, some of the networking both inside the NHS has been invaluable and I’m really hoping that it’s going to set me on an upward trajectory in my career moving forwards.
