Spotlight on HASO: Recruitment

17 April, 2025

HASO has a wide range of resources and guidance to help you plan how you will fund, procure, deliver and quality assure the apprenticeships used by your team or organisation.

In the coming week’s we will be highlighting an area on HASO, sharing what resources are available.

Our Recruitment section will help you learn more about recruiting apprentices including how much apprentices needs to be paid, where to find an apprentice agreement templates and guidance about initial assessment.

The salary section details national minimum wages rates including for apprentices, as well as links to Agenda for Change guidance.

There are also links to various resources including NHS Employer’s Inspire, Attract and Recruit Toolkit which has been developed for NHS HR professionals, recruitment teams and managers to help inspire, attract and recruit their future workforce.

Before the apprentice starts their apprenticeship, their prior learning and experience must be assessed. Access guidance on initial assessment to recognise prior learning  to discover how it works and the responsibilities for providers, employers and the apprentice.

You can also learn more about off-the-job training in apprenticeships to give you guidance on how apprenticeships work. Access gov.uk’s Off-the-Job Training Myth Buster printable.
