“Recruitment has been done differently (for the HCS Apprentice)..... I think the "central" recruitment worked better for all concerned and was a better use of resources.
We have never had apprentices before and there was some scepticism from within the team as to how useful an apprentice would be. A few weeks down the line and staff are "sold" on the idea as they can see what a difference the apprentices are making already”. Theresa Loxley Manager of Hearing Services SCH
www.hee.nhs.ukhttp://yh.hee.nhs.uk
“Our two apprentices have been in post since November 11th, they have settled in to the department very well. I feel very pleased and proud to be able to give this learning opportunity to two school leavers who are really enthusiastic and interested in pursuing a career in science”.
Joanna Andrew – York Hospitals NHS FT Trust
www.hee.nhs.ukhttp://yh.hee.nhs.uk
“This is an excellent scheme which will encourage young people to train as future HCS. Our apprentice is already becoming a valued member of the team after less than a month in post”.
Alison Walsh Manager Medical Imaging and Medical Physics Directorate STH
