The Think Ahead programme

Applications are currently open to join the Think Ahead programme in July 2018, for places based in Ashford, Braintree, Durham and North Yorkshire.

These are fresh opportunities to be part of our 2018 intake, due to an increase in the number of places available at some of our NHS and Local Authority partners. If you previously applied for the 2018 intake and were unsuccessful, you cannot apply for these places. (You will be able to apply to join the 2019 intake when applications open in the autumn.)

These places are available exclusively in Ashford, Braintree, Durham and North Yorkshire. (If more candidates meet our standards than we have places available, some will be placed on our reserve list. Reserve list members may be offered a place in any location in 2019, or in 2018 in the event that other candidates currently allocated to the 2018 intake do not fulfil the conditions of their offer.)

Applications will close at 17:00 on Monday 30 April. The earlier you apply, the greater your chance of success, because we invite candidates to our assessment centres on a rolling basis. (The assessment centres will be taking place in May.)

Applications to join the 2019 Cohort in any location will open in autumn.
