Public Health and Intelligence (PHI) is the new business unit of NHS National Services Scotland and includes the former Information Services Division and Health Protection Scotland. PHI delivers official health statistics and provides an expert public health protection service to the people of Scotland. Through the provision of intelligence, PHI provides support and advice to the Scottish Government Health Department, NHS Boards and a wide range of organisations working in health and social care. Further information on NSS is available on www.nhsnss.org and you can follow NSS on Twitter.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for two Creative & Digital Media Modern Apprentices to join PHI. Successful candidates will be based in NHS NSS’s offices in Edinburgh or Glasgow.

This Modern Apprenticeship is made up of two parts. Firstly, it is a Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ Level 3 or SCQF Level 7) and secondly, you will gain the opportunity to rotate within many Creative & Digital Media functions whilst working as an apprentice in PHI. The apprenticeship itself is one year in duration and in that time you will receive a detailed training programme supported by Glasgow Kelvin College and Young Scot, mentor support and encouragement so that in conclusion you will have the foundations of a worthwhile and rewarding digital career.

For an informal discussion or further information on the program, please contact Clare Harper on 0131 275 6392. For an application pack please contact NSS.WFRS@nhs.net
