To ensure these staff do not experience a detriment to their basic pay, the salary for duration of the apprenticeship will be consistent with their current pay or the rate paid to other apprentices, whichever is higher (subject to eligibility criteria)

This change supports exiting NHS employees to undertake a formal apprenticeship programme which, upon completion, would qualify them for a role where the evaluated pay band is the same or higher than the band of their current post.

Salary: £29,479 pa plus benefits
Location: Sheffield/South Yorkshire | Lincolnshire (Homebased with regional travel)
Contract: Permanent
Hours: Full time

As an Outreach & Training Practitioner at GamCare, you'll be at the heart of changing that, delivering community outreach, awareness sessions and workforce training that help people recognise harm earlier and find the right support sooner. This is frontline, face-to-face work that genuinely matters.

You'll work across your region, partnering with local organisations, statutory services and community groups to make GamCare's services visible and accessible to the people who need them most. Whether you're running a workshop for professionals, holding a conversation at a community drop-in or delivering a brief intervention with someone who's never spoken about their gambling before, your work will have real and lasting impact.not apply.

Lead School Nurse

Lead School Nurse

Salary: £40,000 to £60,000 FTE per annum dependent on qualifications and experience

Hours: Full time, term time only plus 5 days

Contract: Permanent

For an experienced Nurse ready to step away from shift work without stepping back from meaningful clinical practice, this is an exceptional opportunity. As Lead School Nurse at Notting Hill & Ealing High School, you will take ownership of healthcare provision for around 900 students, combining hands-on clinical care with real autonomy, genuine relationships and a working pattern that offers the kind of flexibility most clinical roles never allow. Term time only, no shifts, no nights, no weekends.

You will be the trusted heart of healthcare across our Junior and Senior schools, managing care plans for students with complex conditions, shaping health policy, supporting vulnerable students and working closely with a senior leadership team that takes wellbeing seriously. This is a role for a Nurse who wants to know the people they care for, to be the person students turn to, and to make a difference that goes well beyond the medical room. If you are ready for a role that respects your expertise and your life in equal measure, we would love to hear from you.
