Fully Funded Apprenticeships for Adult Health & Social Care Services

Great news for Adult Care Services; our training partners are able to deliver fully funded apprenticeships to your workforce using Levy funds from the NHS.

Usually non-Levy paying services would contribute 5% of the cost of apprenticeship programmes (between £150 and £350 +VAT per person). However, the NHS is permitted to transfer up to 25% of its Levy funds to local organisations like yours. 

There are a few steps to become eligible for this scheme:

• To apply, you must set up your company on the Apprenticeship Service web portal – we can guide you through this process
• You may then apply to the NHS for funding for named individuals for specific courses (listed below) – we will send you a form to do this
• Applicants must not currently be on any other funded learning
• Applicants must be eligible for funding in England
• Once you have NHS approval, we will process your application to the training provider in the usual way
• The NHS will then pay for your entire programme with their Levy funds
• This provision is for non-Levy paying adult health and social care services or Levy paying services that have used up their own funds

Eligible apprenticeship programmes:

• Adult Care Worker Level 2 
• Lead Adult Care Worker Level 3 
• Lead Practitioner in Adult Care Level 4 
• Leader in Adult Care Level 5 
• Healthcare Cleaning Operative Level 2 
• Production Chef Level 2
• Senior Production Chef Level 3
