Routes to nursing associate qualification

Apprenticeship

Employers could consider an apprenticeship programme to support the development of  nursing associate roles. This is a great opportunity to offer career progression for existing staff as well as an attractive recruitment offer for motivated individuals to join social care teams.

An apprenticeship is a work-based programme where the student is an employee (existing or new). The student is working during the education period as a student nursing associate. There will be mandatory learning days and placements in different areas to meet the programme requirements.

This case study demonstrates how a nursing home has created clinical progression through offering apprenticeship opportunities resulting in excellent nursing retention and continuity of care.

Direct entry route

Universities are offering the pre-registration nursing associate programme as a direct entry option. In this case the student nursing associate is a student at the university, not an employee. Fees for the programme will be charged to the student. 

As a social care employer, you can get involved with the new role by offering placement opportunities for pre-registration nursing associates, speak to your local university and ICB to see what support is on offer.

I did the nursing associate course because I have a passion for caring for people along with gaining transferable skills to help myself grow within social care.
