Working in Digital Roles in the NHSYou don’t need to work in a clinical role to help the NHS save lives. Across the North West, healthcare organisations recruit apprentices each year through the Skills Development Network’s Foundation Digital Apprenticeship, helping to build the digital workforce that modern healthcare depends on.
As a Software Development Technician Apprentice, you’ll play an important part in supporting the use of data and technology that helps staff deliver safe, effective patient care. You’ll gain hands‑on experience in a real NHS environment, build valuable digital and workplace skills, and work towards a nationally recognised qualification - all while making a genuine difference.
You’ll be employed on a full‑time, fixed‑term contract and attend weekly training as part of your apprenticeship. Alongside this, you may have the opportunity to achieve additional industry‑recognised qualifications. We’re looking for motivated individuals who are organised, willing to learn, and have a genuine interest in IT and technology.
As a Skills Development Network apprentice in the NHS, you’ll be starting your career with the UK’s largest employer. In addition to excellent learning and progression opportunities, you’ll benefit from a competitive salary, generous annual leave, and flexible working options.

Working within a development lifecycle.
