Current trainee Bex Taylor, 21, said: “The good thing about the programme is you get to experience everything. You learn about the different aspects of care, as well as how to manage things outside of work like money and budgeting.”

Successful applicants will earn £110 per week while they gain practical experience and industry recognised qualifications.

The trainee programme starts in September, running over a year including six weeks paid holiday.
