Network 75 Placement

This Notice is to inform the market of the intention to complete a Direct Award to the University of South Wales for the provision of the Network 75 Scheme. Network 75 is a combined work placement and part-time study route to a degree, allowing students to Work, Earn and Learn. The Network 75 scheme facilitates the supply of a student trainee over a 5-year period. The student attends university twice per week and the operational placement within the applicable organisation three times a week during term time. The attendance to the operational placement increases to 5 days per week during university holidays. NHS Wales Performance and Improvement Value Transformation division benefits from a motivated person who will develop into a valuable member of staff, through academic learning, alongside practical work experience and clear objectives. For the individual to remain on the scheme, they are required to pass annual exams, fully participate in an experiential rotational placement, with clear objectives to be assessed via an annual joint appraisal with the University of South Wales. The Network 75 scheme gives people from underprivileged backgrounds an opportunity to obtain a university degree without going into significant debt. Value Transformation is utilising this scheme, alongside other organisations across NHS Wales to support equitable access to the population across Wales, and the citizens NHS Wales provides services to.
