Delivering strategic programmes to develop the NHS workforce
Apprenticeships are key to opening opportunities right across the NHS, for people to learn, earn, and start building a career with nationally recognised qualifications.
Our team works with over 50 NHS Trusts across the UK, building the strategic partnerships and workforce planning capabilities that overcome each Trust’s unique challenges. We’re proud to have trained more people than anyone else to develop careers within the NHS, delivering more than 3,000 apprenticeships.
Essential to the NHS career ladder, Lifetime's apprenticeships develop key skills, improve patient care, and help people continue their professional journey. And by opening apprenticeships to a wider spectrum of people, the NHS helps a more diverse workforce go even further.
Lifetime’s experience in the NHS
We’re committed to recruiting, supporting and developing a pipeline of talent to meet the future needs of the NHS.
To do this, we've created an enhanced package of support, services and advice available for our partners, maximising the impact of apprenticeships for Trusts and their teams.

Adding value and diversity with apprenticeships
Social mobility, diversity and inclusion
Recruiting externally and improving access to training reaches and empowers more people in underrepresented communities, disadvantaged locations and low socio-economic groups. By driving social mobility and building a more inclusive workforce, you'll gain far more than just increased apprentice numbers.
We’re fully committed to social mobility across all our practices and processes and have adapted campaigns to actively promote apprenticeships to people with limited access to training. Around 25% of Lifetime apprentices come from locations deemed disadvantaged, showing the invaluable role apprenticeships can play as an education tool.
BAME Apprenticeship Alliance
We’re incredibly proud to be recognised with a prestigious Patron Membership from the BAME Apprenticeship Alliance, which shows our commitment to increasing apprenticeship diversity, inclusivity and access for everyone, both locally and national areas.
This partnership helps us improve the way we work, advise our partners on actions they can take, and supports us build a network of employers all looking to improve their approach to diversity and inclusion through apprenticeships.
Team engagement for better workforce planning
To showcase your apprenticeship opportunities, the right marketing and communications are invaluable. It’ll help raise the profile (both internally and externally) while educating and encouraging potential candidates.
We use our expertise in effective apprenticeship engagement and communications, to work with your teams and within your channels. Together, we make sure the right message is reaching the right people, as a fundamental part of all your talent development conversations and workforce planning.
The most recent episode in our NHS Partner Programmes webinar series focused on helping NHS Trusts measure the effectiveness & socio-economic impact of apprenticeships.
