Most of our apprenticeships have entry requirements of holding a GCSE in English and Maths (this is dependent upon course provider). Additional requirements would be listed on the job application.

As a trust, we cover apprenticeships from entry level roles right up to degree level. Which opportunities we have available will be advertised on our vacancy pages and we recommend searching there to see if we have opportunities that appeal to you.

When you apply for an apprenticeship opportunity at Royal Papworth, the advert will make clear how much your salary will be. Pay for apprenticeships vary depending on the position and role that you are undertaking training in.

The duration of an apprenticeship varies depending on what course you are undertaking. Apprenticeships last between one and four years in duration. More information can be provided when an opportunity arises.

20% of working hours are set aside for ‘off the job training’ as part of your course. This is learning that takes place away from your place of work such as, classroom/online learning activities, observation of other areas or other learning elements relating to your apprenticeship.
