MPFT is proud to join the celebration of National Apprenticeship Week 2023. This annual event, held from 7th to 13th February, recognizes the value of apprenticeships and celebrates the positive impact they have on individuals, businesses and communities.

As a leading provider of mental health and learning disability services, MPFT is committed to supporting the growth and development of its workforce. The Trust offers a range of apprenticeships in a variety of roles, including nursing, administration and IT.

“We are thrilled to be a part of National Apprenticeship Week,” said Caroline Green, Workforce Information Lead. “Apprenticeships are a fantastic way to develop the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in a chosen career. At MPFT, we believe in investing in our workforce and apprenticeships are a key part of that investment.”

The Trust’s apprentices have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in their chosen field while earning a salary. They also receive support from experienced mentors and have access to the Trust’s extensive training and development programs.

Eve, a Student Social Worker who on completion of her degree hopes to work in the Mental Health Social Care team said: “When I was in school, I always had a passion for supporting people and I was keen to find employment where I would thrive and achieve my goals. I firstly started on a Level 3 apprenticeship and after successful completion of this, was afforded the opportunity to complete my Level 6 Degree Apprenticeship.”

Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace and encourages applications from individuals of all backgrounds.
