Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is offering Business Administration apprenticeships across North Tyneside and Northumberland, paying £25,272 a year pro rata. Applications close on 15 November 2026, and the posts are listed on NHS Jobs under reference 319-8324297JN.

The apprenticeships run for 15 months and lead to a Level 3 Apprenticeship qualification as a Business Administrator. Apprentices work in a business administration environment while they learn, supporting a department or ward team with data input, filing, post and telephone enquiries.

Who can apply

Applicants need five GCSEs at grades A-C or 9-4, including maths and English, and knowledge of Microsoft Office packages. Previous experience in business administration or a customer-focused role is desirable but not essential. Applicants must meet the right to work and residency criteria set out in the trust's apprenticeship guidance for applicants, and the post is subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service check.

Northumbria Healthcare says the programme is a springboard into an NHS career. Apprentices who complete the programme can apply for vacancies within the trust and are guaranteed an interview where their qualifications meet the requirements of the post.

About the trust

The trust manages four major locality hospitals at North Tyneside, Wansbeck and Hexham, plus smaller community hospitals and clinics from Tynemouth to Berwick on Tweed, covering one of the largest geographical areas of any NHS trust in the country. The apprenticeships are offered on a full-time, part-time or flexible working basis across the trust.

How to apply

Applications must be made through NHS Jobs before the closing date of 15 November 2026. Full details are also on the Trac Jobs listing for the same apprenticeship.
