In the health care industry, you can work directly in contact with patients or in support roles which help keep the services running.

There is a high demand for nurses and the number of new jobs in personal services (care) is growing year on year. For many jobs in medicine you will need a degree and sometimes a postgraduate qualification, however from September 2017 degree level apprenticeships became an option for getting into nursing. Degree apprenticeships have also become available since autumn 2018.

Apprenticeships at different levels are also available for roles such as healthcare assistant, care worker and therapy assistant.
