Common questions

Does Isle of Wight NHS Trust sponsor visas for its registered nurse degree apprenticeship?

No. Isle of Wight NHS Trust does not sponsor its registered nurse degree apprenticeship for international students who need a visa. Isle of Wight NHS Trust, which shares apprenticeship support with Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust, runs a Registered Nurse Degree Apprenticeship: a four-year programme in which apprentices work as Healthcare Support Workers, take supervised placements across acute settings and study for a Level 6 BSc in Adult Nursing, leading to NMC registration. Entry needs Level 2 English and Maths, a Level 3 qualification in science, healthcare or social care (or equivalent experience) and applicants must be 18 or over. Other apprenticeships it has delivered include Midwife, Operating Department Practitioner, Healthcare Science Practitioner, Mammography Associate, Professional Accounting Technician, Project Manager and Data Analyst. Vacancies carry 'apprentice' in the title and are posted on NHS Jobs and the two trusts' vacancy pages; staff can also apply internally.
