About Great Ormond Street Hospital

Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) is a children's hospital in central London, at Great Ormond Street WC1N 3JH. Its apprenticeship pages describe roles across nursing, science, allied health, admin, management, data and IT.

We did not find a mission or values statement on the apprenticeship pages we read, so check the hospital's main website.

It is based in London. Apprentices are officially students and can get a student Oyster card and discounts, according to the hospital.

GOSH says it offers an apprenticeship route for every role, and that apprentices learn on the job while being paid, with about 20% of working hours given to active learning.

The hospital reports over 400 apprentices, about 7% of its workforce, with 30 college and university partners and 60 programmes, from entry level to degree level. An older page says over 220 apprentices and 40 programmes, so the numbers have grown. Vacancies are listed under Apprenticeship vacancies on its Current Jobs page. We did not find ages, entry requirements or pay.
