Developing staff

Last summer we recruited Stace Buller, Alice Shuttlewood and Ashleigh Thomas into Business & Administration Advanced Apprenticeship positions with NHS Direct.  

The following is an extract from a recent Case Study put together by the National Apprenticeship Service.

“NHS Direct is committed to developing and training its staff. The use of Apprenticeships is a new training route for the Bedfordshire office and it has enabled them to take on three young people in an administrative function as well as developing existing staff to become team leaders through the Adult Apprenticeship route. As well as boosting their training portfolio, the company is committed to helping employees realise their potential.”

“Apprenticeships are extremely

cost-effective.We had a level of

work ideally suited to young

people and the opportunity was

there to offer them training

positions. Apprenticeships proved

the ideal vehicle to combine work

and training and gives us a

different kind of employee.”

“Adult Apprenticeships is an exciting

new venture for our organisation

and one that we believe will be vital

in talent management and in

ensuring our staff are developed to

their full potential.”
