External recruitment for the April 2025 cohort of the Student Nursing Associate Programme is now open via an online form.

The external application route is for those not currently placed in a GP/Care Home within north central London.

Through the apprenticeship programme, anyone who is interested in starting their nursing career can:

• learn and earn (Band 3 salary, and depending on allocated employer there may be also a high-cost area supplement) without incurring university costs.
• graduate with a foundation degree
• get guaranteed employment with a NHS trust or a general practice in north central London.

The programme is full time (37.5hours/week) for two years.

Please note: There is a separate application process for those already employed in an NCL General Practice or Care Home who are interested in the apprenticeship programme. Internal candidates can discuss the Internal Candidate Employer Information with their employer.
