Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is recruiting an apprentice to join its recruitment team, with applications closing on Monday 16 November 2026.

The post is Apprentice – Recruitment Administrative Assistant (Medical & Dental), based in Doncaster. The wage is £15,600 a year, according to the vacancy listed on the GOV.UK Find an Apprenticeship service, which directs applicants to apply through NHS Jobs.

What the role involves

The successful applicant will help provide a recruitment administration service for doctors across the Trust, which is one of Yorkshire’s leading acute trusts and serves a population of more than 440,000 people across South Yorkshire, North Nottinghamshire and the surrounding areas.

Duties include learning to manage the recruitment process for medical and dental staff, using the Trac and NHS Jobs systems, linking records to the Electronic Staff Record, coordinating shortlisting and arranging interviews. The apprentice will also handle data input and retrieval, filing, post and telephone enquiries for the recruitment team.

As with other apprenticeships, the successful candidate will have time off the job each week for study and training as part of the programme.

Working pattern and interviews

The service needs an on-site presence from Monday to Friday, but there is a hybrid working option: after the induction and training period, there may be the opportunity to work from home one day a week.

Interviews are planned for Friday 4 December 2026, face to face at Doncaster Royal Infirmary.

The advert notes that the role is not eligible for sponsorship, and applicants must be able to show an existing and ongoing right to work in the UK.

Who should apply

The Trust says it is looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic apprentice to join the team. The role suits someone who wants to start a career in NHS administration and learn how recruitment works in a large hospital trust, with training and study time built into the working week.

The recruitment team supports the Trust’s medical and dental workforce, so the apprentice will gain experience of the systems and processes behind hiring doctors across three hospital sites.

How to apply

Applications are made through NHS Jobs, via the listing on the GOV.UK Find an Apprenticeship service. The closing date is Monday 16 November 2026, so applicants should apply before that date, as the Trust may close the advert early if it receives a high number of suitable applications.

The Trust runs three main hospital sites: Doncaster Royal Infirmary, Bassetlaw Hospital and Montagu Hospital in Mexborough.
