Discover Apprenticeships in the NHS

Jodie is a Modern Apprentice healthcare support worker in NHS Grampian. Jodie shares her career story of the apprenticeship programme, and how it offered her the skills needed for her role.

Jodie shares:

“I found out about the Modern Apprenticeship programme when I was at college doing a National Certificate in childcare. I saw the advert on Facebook and emailed the recruitment team to find out more.”

“The apprenticeship appealed to me because I find it easier to learn at work, developing my clinical skills and knowledge. I’ve learned so much during the two years being on the programme. It’s helped me personally by making me more independent and confident.”

Career goals in NHS

“I’ve always wanted to be a nurse or a midwife, so being on the programme is helping me reach my career goal."

"The best thing about my job is that I’m able to learn from the women I care for. I’m able to create a bond with them and become someone that they can speak to and confide in. I’ve also made strong friendships with colleagues. We are a team where we can help and support each other."
