The Registered Nurse Apprenticeship (RNA) is a new and innovative route to ‘Learn while you Earn’ and combines 4 years of clinical employment, work based learning and academic learning.
You will be employed as an Apprentice Nurse at Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust (KCHFT). You will work as part of a clinical team within a range of settings and be provided with dedicated time to study for a Bachelor’s degree in Adult nursing in conjunction with the Open University.
During the apprenticeship you will develop skills and knowledge that will allow you to work in today’s dynamic and changing healthcare environment. Whilst you will be based in one specific team, your placements will give you the variety of learning environments working across both internal and external clinical placements to gain an appreciation of the different areas of the local healthcare service and meet the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) practice learning requirements. As many of our bases are away from public transport routes, it is a requirement of the role that you are able to drive and have access to a car (subject to the provisions of the Equality Act 2010).
As an employee of KCHFT you will demonstrate our values, and once you have completed all the requirements for registration as an Adult Nurse you will become a Band 5 RN role within the Trust.
Note that alternative entry routes are available and will be considered on a case by case basis.
Other points to consider:
If you are successfully shortlisted you will be invited to an assessment day as part of our interview process.
Please note that the course is due to start at the end of January/beginning of February.
