You will be responsive to the Charity's workforce plan and will develop both recruitment, selection and implementation pathways to ensure the Charity is developing Nurses through the apprenticeship route. You will work with key stakeholders, both internally and externally to facilitate learning and placement learning opportunities, whilst proactively working within the organisation to both promote and realise the potential of nursing apprenticeships.

You will have experience of engaging key stakeholders, including Patients, in educational and practice development. You will also be accustomed to liaising with external organisations such as NHS England, Integrated Care Boards and Universities.
