Successful applicants will meet the following minimum entry requirements of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC):
  • 112 UCAS Points (Equivalent to 3 A Levels - 1 of which must be in a science)
  • 5 GCSEs (including Maths, English and a Science) at grades 4 or above (equivalent to the old grading system as C or above).

Successful applicants will be earning an annual salary of £18,005 in the first year, rising to £19,737 years 2-5 Inc. over the five years of study.

All university fees are paid by the organisation, adding to the attractiveness of achieving a first level degree and leading to professional registration at zero cost to the individual.

The degree level nursing apprenticeship has been in place for three years to support staff already employed within CNTW and we are now widening out this opportunity to individuals who wish to develop a career in nursing but by an alternative route.

If you meet the entry requirements, have aspirations of being a registered nurse and you embrace new ways of studying and gaining experience combined with a working life and a steady income, applying for this opportunity could be the best decision you will ever make.

Successful applicants will complete three months of paid employment with CNTW prior to the commencement of the apprenticeship programme to gain practical work-experience and real-life hands-on experience of nursing.
