Exciting news! Applications are now open for the EMT apprenticeship across the North West.

EMTs play a vital role in our emergency service, working as a crew to respond to emergencies and assist in delivering effective and appropriate care to our patients.

As an apprentice you will be given the opportunity to earn while you learn, whilst training as an EMT. You’ll be applying appropriate skills and knowledge to safely provide care for patients, whilst benefitting from dedicated educational and clinical support to successfully complete your apprenticeship programme.

What do you need to apply?

You can find the full job description and person specification on the job advert but you must have the minimum before applying:

  • Minimum of 5 GCSEs including Mathematics, English and a Science at Grade 4-9 or equivalent. Candidates with healthcare experience and GCSEs in Mathematics and English at Grade 4-9, or equivalent will be considered
  • You must hold a full and valid EU Driving Licence with no more than three endorsement points (in exceptional circumstances a maximum of six points may be considered)
  • C1 provisional – you must hold a minimum of a C1 Category provisional entitlement on your licence.

The closing date for applications is 26 January 2026, however this is a very popular post so it may closer sooner.
