Apprenticeships
At St Andrew’s we are pleased to be able to offer our staff a wide range of apprenticeship programmes.
These are available at different levels in subjects related to hospitality and catering, business administration, IT, HR, leadership, management and clinical and nursing disciplines.
By offering inclusive access to further training, we can ensure we unlock the potential in all our staff, while promoting diversity across our charity.
Investing in our people
Your career at St Andrew’s Healthcare will begin with a group induction, which gives you the opportunity to learn more about us and what you can expect.
The induction also gives you the chance to meet new colleagues and also experts with lived experience, who have been in our care.
From there, you will also gain a personal induction to the division or area you will be working in, and gain support from an allocated mentor.
Each year we invest in core skills refresher training for all staff on a range of important topics. We use e-learning, alongside practical skills training, an approach that is well-received.
Our dedicated team offers support to anyone, at any level, in any department, interested in their own development. We provide courses, workshops and coaching, leadership development and a continuing professional development (CPD) programme.
The most important thing is: You’re in the driver’s seat. We encourage you to drive your development needs as part of a regular individual performance and development review (IPDR).
