Common questions

Does Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust sponsor visas for its registered nurse degree apprenticeship?

Unconfirmed. Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust publishes no sponsorship policy for its registered nurse degree apprenticeship, so we cannot state a firm answer. Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust, the mental health, learning disability and community health provider for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, sets out a nursing apprenticeship ladder. The two-year LLR Student Nurse Associate Programme, run with University Hospitals of Leicester and De Montfort University, leads to Nursing Associate Level 5 and is open to staff in a substantive healthcare assistant post working at least 30 hours a week with functional skills level 2 or GCSE grade C/4 in maths and English. The Registered Nurse Degree Apprenticeship then lets healthcare assistants, nursing associates and assistant practitioners register with the NMC as an adult, children and young people, learning disability or mental health nurse; it runs with The Open University or De Montfort University and leads to a level 6 degree in Nursing, with a shortened route for those with prior learning. The Trust's apprenticeships page also features staff who completed physiotherapy and business management degree apprenticeships, and says qualifications go up to and beyond master's degree level. It says nothing about visa sponsorship or residency for apprentices.
