Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 24 Oct, 06:00 · Archive
Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust has won the South West regional T Level Employer of the Year award.
Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (AWP) has been named South West regional T Level Employer of the Year at the National Apprenticeship and Skills Awards. The award recognises the trust's work in creating industry placements and new career pathways in mental health, and was announced during National T Levels Week.
Central to the award was AWP's introduction of T Level placements for under-18s within its mental health inpatient services. These placements allow students to gain practical experience in adult acute, older adult, and rehabilitation settings. The programme was developed through collaboration between clinical, operational, and corporate teams.
Kerri Pearce, apprenticeship manager at AWP, said: 'This recognition reflects the commitment and collaboration of colleagues across AWP who believed in the potential of this pilot and worked together to make it a success.' She added that teams and leaders in Swindon showed 'enthusiasm and willingness to support T Level students' and helped create 'opportunities for local young people while showcasing the rewarding careers available within mental health services.'
AWP was shortlisted in two categories: Apprenticeship Employer of the Year and T Level Employer of the Year. The trust will now compete in the national finals in November.
The programme has been highlighted by NHS Employers as a best practice example. Other mental health trusts are now considering introducing similar schemes.
