Location: Inchinnan
Duration: 4 years
At Rolls-Royce we are proud to be a business that has truly helped to shape the modern world and are committed to always being a force for progress; powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere.
By joining Rolls-Royce in an Emerging Talent programme, you'll have the opportunity to work on world-class solutions, supported by a culture that believes individuality is our greatest strength, and all perspectives, experiences and backgrounds help us innovate and enable our high-performance culture.
Position summary:
Our Manufacturing Engineers develop some of the most advanced manufacturing processes in the world, bringing to life the incredible products we design across the company and driving safety, quality and cost in our facilities and supply chains. Join them as an apprentice and you’ll be turning our designs into reality, learning from world-class experts, as well as customers, suppliers and operations specialists.
What you’ll be doing:
You’ll spend your first year completing your foundation training at Glasgow Clyde College which will give you a broad understanding of manufacturing engineering principles. Alongside job-specific training courses you’ll get to study for a BEng Honours Engineering: Design and Manufacture degree at Strathclyde University on day release from year 1 onwards.
From your second year, you’ll embark on a series of six-month placements on site at Rolls-Royce Inchinnan
During year 2, you will complete a 10-week training course, in person, at either our Derby or Bristol sites. Travel expenses will be paid.
Across your apprenticeship you’ll gain practical knowledge in areas such as developing new technology, introducing new products and continuously improving existing manufacturing processes and controlling change, implementing digital manufacturing solutions and interfacing with suppliers. Alongside this, you’ll learn how to manage projects and costs, how to design and validate manufacturing processes, how to solve engineering problems, and how to implement quality assurance methods.
Who we’re looking for:
- Five National 5s or equivalent at grade C or above, which must include Maths and English
- 4 SQA Highers (B grade or higher) including Maths and Physics
If you have already achieved your Highers, you’ll be required to sit a 9-week online Maths course and test with Strathclyde University. Any offer which you are made prior to completing this will be a conditional offer until you have successfully passed this additional entry requirement and have been accepted by Strathclyde University. If you are completing your Highers this academic year, you’ll need to achieve the required grades, but you’ll not need to sit the additional course and test.
Every bit as important as your academic achievements, however, are the personal qualities you bring to the role. Creativity and an agile approach are both important, as are problem solving skills and collaborative team working.
Above all, you'll need to be passionate about manufacturing, as well as analytical, highly motivated, and most importantly, endlessly curious about how things are made and how processes work.
Our behaviours drive us - we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. We’ll expect that of you, too.
What you’ll get:
- A competitive starting salary with annual pay rises
- BEng Honours Engineering: Design and Manufacture degree
- 33 days’ holiday per year (including bank holidays)
- Competitive pension
- A choice of voluntary benefits including discounts at nationwide stores, gyms, discounted health care, free digital GP, Cycle to Work scheme and more all available on our TotalReward portal
- Continuous learning and development
- Support from managers, leaders, mentors and other apprentices
- Opportunities to develop beyond your day-to-day role and get involved in social activities
- An independent, 24-hour, confidential counselling service
Our vision is to ensure that the excellence and ingenuity that shaped our history continues into our future. Our multi-year transformation progr...

Can you also speak at churches and events to inspire and encourage people to consider what the Bible says about mission and what their role can be as carriers of God’s good news?

Research Fellow, Medicine, Medical Sciences & Nutrition (MED249R)
The Institute of Education in Healthcare and Medical Sciences, located within the School of Medicine, Medical Sciences and Nutrition, University of Aberdeen, is one of the UK’s leading centres for medical, medical sciences and dental education. The Institute launched the Centre of Healthcare Education Research and Innovation (CHERI) in May 2017. Led by Dr Anita Laidlaw, CHERI’s vision is to achieve a global reputation for academic excellence in healthcare education research, by supporting high-quality, important research focusing on relevant issues, and developing tomorrow’s researchers.
Job Description
CHERI is host to the Scottish Widening Access to Medicine Research Network (SWAM-RN) which was founded here at University of Aberdeen by Prof Colin Lumsden and Dr Katie Gibson Smith. Widening access, and participation (WA/WP), to medicine aims to promote participation in medicine amongst groups who are typically underrepresented. The Scottish Government have made significant investment, and set ambitious targets, in relation to WA/WP to medicine. It is critical however, if targets are to be met in relation to WA/WP to medicine, that research is developed strategically, and outputs shared quickly and timeously to explore how these students can be best supported to pursue their ambitions.
Accordingly, we have established the Scottish Widening Access to Medicine Research Network (SWAM-RN), comprising a community of relevant partners (medical schools, along with NHS Education Scotland, third sector and Medical Schools Council) to support research and evaluation within Scotland.
The overall purpose of this role is to support the research activity of the Scottish Widening Access to Medicine Research Network (SWAM-RN). Dr Katie Gibson Smith will supervise the research activity which will initially involve a Scottish wide project to identify research gaps in this area. Subsequent research projects will be driven from this initial activity however, it is anticipated that these will be both quantitative and qualitative in nature, and therefore we will be seeking a researcher with experience of using both these methodologies.
Salary will be at the appropriate point on the Grade 6 scale, £38,784 - £46,049 per annum and negotiable with placement according to qualifications and experience
Informal enquiries should be made to Dr Katie Gibson Smith, Senior Lecturer (Kathrine.gibson.smith@abdn.ac.uk).
Prior to employment, the successful candidate must be able to demonstrate their right to work in the UK. This role may be eligible for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker route under the UKVI immigration rules but is dependent on factors specific to the candidate and if tradeable points can be used under the rules.
Information on other visa options is available at https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa.
