Care Apprenticeships in Cumbria

Not sure what to do after school or college? 

If you’re in Appleby, Penrith, Kirkby Stephen or Keswick and not sure what’s next, a care apprenticeship could be a really good option.


A real example from Appleby

Cheyenne, from Appleby, started with us as an apprentice with no experience.

Now she:

  • Works supporting people in her local community
  • Has built confidence and real skills
  • Is even helping with creating rotas for the team

It shows how quickly you can grow when you’re given the right support.


Learn while you earn

A care apprenticeship means:

  • You’re working and earning from day one
  • You’re released for college as part of your training
  • You gain recognised qualifications

 

Full pay (not apprentice wages)

This is the bit most people don’t expect:

✔️ We pay full rate
✔️ No reduced apprentice wage
✔️ Same pay regardless of your age


Keep progressing

Once you’ve started, you can keep developing:

  • Diplomas in Health & Social Care
  • Further training
  • New responsibilities as you grow

All supported and provided at no cost.


Where can it lead?

Care can open more doors than people realise.

You could:

  • Progress within care
  • Move into roles in the NHS or healthcare
  • Even go into areas like dental or the police

You build real-life skills that transfer anywhere.


Stay local

One of the best parts:
