School engagement
School engagement is important for those considering a career in the NHS and Primary care, by helping to promote Primary care as an employer of choice e.g. careers fairs and Springpod, our virtual careers learning platform.
If you wish to enquire about getting involved in engagement activities or have a query please email:

Work experience
Work experience can help an individual learn more about a desired career by gaining valuable practical knowledge. It can also help to develop aspirations for previously unconsidered career options.
At the moment Primary Care Services North Cumbria is promoting a virtual work experience programme from Springpod which is open to anyone aged 16 and over.

Apprenticeships
What is an apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships are a formal training programme which supports the development of the workforce. Apprenticeships are an ideal way to grow our own workforce from entry level to introduce new people into the NHS up to degree level to further their careers all the way up to master’s level.
Apprenticeships are available in a wide range of areas and role and new apprenticeships are being developed all the time. For a full list of what’s available check out the Institute for Apprenticeships web page.
Are there any entry requirements for apprenticeships?
Apprentices are required to have Maths & English at GCSE grade A-C / 4-9 or Functional Skills Level 2 qualifications.
You must be able to provide the certificates as proof as part of the application process.
Apprenticeships in primary care
Apprenticeships in primary care can be used to develop new and existing staff in both clinical and non-clinical roles. Apprenticeships can be used to develop skills in administration, customer service, and in specialist back-office skills, such as finance and IT.
Apprenticeships are also available for roles such as:
• Optical assistants
• Healthcare assistants
• Practice Managers
• Team Leaders
• Dispensing assistants
• Dental nurses
• Dispensing and pharmacist assistants
• Pharmacy technicians
