It takes more than doctors and nurses to run a hospital!

Alima Begum and Matthew Durham have completed apprenticeships at NGH and secured permanent jobs at the hospital

A year’s hands-on learning, a competitive salary and transferable skills in demand across public and private sectors and are just some of the benefits of Northampton General Hospital’s apprenticeship scheme.

The hospital is now recruiting apprentices for office-based business administration roles.

Learning & development manager Becky Sansom said: “We’re a multi-million pound organisation and the biggest employer in Northampton town so not surprisingly, we need the right people behind the scenes making it all work. 

“That’s why we offer lots of apprenticeships in roles that don’t involve working on wards or with patients including business admin, customer services, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. 

“An apprenticeship at Northampton General Hospital means a year of valuable hands-on experience working alongside our experts and the opportunity to learn skills in demand across the public and private sectors. You’ll earn a competitive apprenticeship salary of over £100 a week and have career support every step of the way.

“Right now, we’re recruiting to our next round of business admin apprenticeships so we’re really keen to hear from anyone who would like to start your professional journey, perfect for school and college leavers or anyone wanting a complete change of career.  You might not have loads of working experience - or none at all.  There is no upper age limit; the important thing is that you’re genuinely interested in learning new skills.”
