Nurses are educators by nature. Every day you share knowledge, mentor others, and support learning that improves care and safety. The Educator Apprenticeship for Health and Social Care helps you build on these skills with a structured, practical programme that develops your ability to teach, assess, and inspire learners confidently.
Fully funded through the apprenticeship levy, this programme is open to nurses across the NHS, social care, and independent practice who support students, trainees, or teams as part of their role.
