Main duties of the job

This is an apprenticeship where you will have the opportunity to earn while you learn throughout the duration of the programme.

You will be employed in a two-year Trainee Nursing Associate role on a fixed term contract at Leeds Teaching Hospitals (LTHT).

This is a developmental role. The trainee will work towards the post of Registered Nursing Associate (RNA) through successful completion of the Nursing Associate training programme which includes the attainment of a Level 5 Foundation Degree equivalent qualification, awarded by an academic education institute.

You will develop and maintain knowledge, skills and behaviours related to the role of the RNA whilst working within clinical settings and through completion of the Nursing Associate training programme, which includes working in care settings and the delivery of person-centred care.

The training programme emphasises the role that Trainee Nursing Associates can play in life-course (pre-conception to end of life), in approaches towards optimising health and well-being, and the ways in which they actively contribute to the delivery of holistic care. Holistic care is a whole-person approach which considers, and equally values, physical, psychological, social, economic, spiritual and other factors while planning and delivering high quality care.
