Apprenticeships
CHS intends to:
- Better the public sector target of 2.3% and aspire to at least 5% of our workforce being apprentices.
- Use apprentices and apprenticeships for our new starters where we can, recognising that some posts do not fit the criteria in terms of career path or service need.
- Over time, use apprenticeships to develop all our team leaders, supervisors and managers, to deliver their management and leadership roles.
- Provide internal training on people skills where appropriate.
- Develop a three year plan and at the end of three years we will have a robust and well developed workforce, with the skills and experience to do an excellent job.
- Use apprentices to replace existing roles, unless an additional post is approved by the CHS Operational Committee.
Training and Development
The medical devices training team has worked with Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust for the last 10 years and has become one of the national innovators and lead for delivering compliance, documentation and training resources. The team works closely with NAMDET (National Association of Medical Device Educators & Trainers) and our equipment suppliers to develop and produce bespoke training materials.
Vacancies
