Apprenticeship opportunities

At London Ambulance Service we offer apprenticeship programmes to help people expand their knowledge, skills and experience while developing their careers.

London Ambulance Service is one of the UK’s leading apprenticeship employers, regularly ranked among the country’s top apprenticeship organisations and named the Mayor of London’s Apprenticeship Employer of the Year for several consecutive years.

Apprenticeships are an excellent way to progress your career with us. If you are interested in becoming a paramedic but do not have a degree in paramedic science, our apprenticeship pathway could offer an alternative route into the profession.

If you have any questions about our apprenticeship opportunities, you can contact us.

The LAS career pathway for frontline ambulance staff

Our Frontline Ambulance Service apprenticeships are a great career pathway that commence with a level 3 apprenticeship and allows individuals to progress right through to a degree apprenticeship and to becoming a fully qualified Paramedic in just over 4 years.

Here, you would not need to have prior medical qualifications or experience and you would be earning and learning whilst undertaking the apprenticeships and remaining employed in a frontline role with the London Ambulance Service.
