Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (HHFT) is an NHS provider serving around 600,000 people across Hampshire and parts of west Berkshire, operating hospitals in Basingstoke, Andover and Winchester. Alongside delivering acute healthcare, HHFT offers a comprehensive education and training offer through its careers site, including a broad apprenticeship portfolio for both clinical and non-clinical staff. Apprenticeships range from Level 2 to Level 7, typically lasting one to four years and incorporating 20% off‑the‑job training such as shadowing, study time, research and mentoring. Clinical pathways include in‑house Healthcare Support Worker apprenticeships at Levels 2 and 3, nursing and nursing associate degree apprenticeships run in partnership with universities, and specialist options such as a Level 3 Simulation Technician apprenticeship. Non‑clinical routes cover areas such as business administration, customer service, team leadership and operations/departmental management, with some higher-level programmes delivered by external providers. HHFT also supports supported apprenticeships, work experience, preceptorship, return to practice, career development and placements for learners in practice and undergraduate medical students. The trust positions itself as both an employer‑provider and a main provider to other employers within the health sector, underpinned by its iCARE values of being inclusive, compassionate, accountable, respectful and encouraging.
