After achieving this Nursing Associate Apprenticeship, you will be eligible to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council as a nursing associate. Once you are on the register, you can apply for nursing associate jobs. According to government data, nursing associates earn on average between £21,730 and £26,282 per year.

If you want to go on to become a Registered Nurse, you can then apply to start our Registered Nurse Degree Apprenticeship in stage two, meaning you could complete that apprenticeship in 18 months.

This Nursing Associate Apprenticeship could also take you into education and mentoring roles. For instance, many NHS trusts employ nursing associates to support others in training, and universities and colleges also employ them to do lecturing and teaching.
