We will be working closely with the Royal Marsden to recruit and train apprentices in a variety of support roles that provide vital services to staff and patients.

“Apprenticeships have moved a long way from the old stereotype of being the sole preserve of young people in manual labour roles. Our range of modern apprenticeships are for anyone of any age in any sector and increasingly are for supervisory and management roles – as this new contract demonstrates. At Capital City College Training, we’re proud of the service that we provide companies like the Royal Marsden – helping them recruit and upskill their workforce now and in the future.”

Nina Singh, Director of Workforce at The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust said: “The Royal Marsden is committed to helping its staff develop in their current job and beyond, and work-based apprenticeships allow our staff to develop and enhance their skills and knowledge, perform better in their role, improve their career prospects and earn a nationally recognised qualification. We’re pleased to be partnering with the Capital City College Training to increase opportunities for staff within the hospitality and facilities management areas and look forward to the first apprentices starting with us.”
