Overview
Supply Chain Degree Apprentice (Level 6)
Location: Oxfordshire
Start date: August/September 2026
Join us in pioneering breakthroughs in healthcare. For everyone. Everywhere. Sustainably.
About the Role
Are you finishing school or college and looking for an alternative to the traditional university route? A Degree Apprenticeship with Siemens Healthineers allows you to earn a salary, gain real work experience, and achieve a fully funded degree — all at the same time.
As a Supply Chain Degree Apprentice, you’ll join Siemens Healthineers Magnet Technology in Oxfordshire, where we design and manufacture high‑tech medical imaging components used by healthcare professionals worldwide. You’ll join a supportive network of apprentices and early‑career professionals who are valued across the business. Our Supply Chain & Logistics team plays a vital role in enabling the manufacture of MRI systems that help make healthcare more accessible across the world.
Starting in September 2026, as a Level 6 Supply Chain Degree Apprentice, you’ll gain valuable experience in one of the world’s leading healthcare companies while working towards a fully funded degree qualification in Supply Chain Management. Over the four‑year apprenticeship, you’ll build knowledge and practical skills in a real workplace environment, taking on more responsibility as your confidence and experience grow. This role is designed to help you build strong foundations for a future career in supply chain or related business roles.
Our operations are currently based in Eynsham, and as part of a major investment in the business, we are moving to a brand‑new, purpose‑built facility in Bicester as it comes to life in 2027. You’ll start your apprenticeship at the Eynsham site and work with teams across both locations, gaining valuable insight into how a large‑scale business manages the transition of operations while continuing day‑to‑day delivery.
What You’ll Be Studying
You’ll complete a Level 6 Supply Chain Management Degree Apprenticeship, working towards a BSc in Supply Chain Management (Professional Practice) in partnership with Aston University.
Your studies will include modules such as:
* Logistics and operations management

* Supply chain analytics
* Finance and commercial awareness
* Technology, innovation, and digital tools in supply chains
You’ll spend most of your time in the workplace doing a real job, with dedicated study time built into your working week to support your learning.
What You’ll Be Doing (as Your Experience Grows)
With support from your manager and team, you’ll gradually take on responsibility and learn how supply chains work in practice. This may include:
* Helping ensure the right materials are available for production
* Managing stock levels within your area of responsibility, balancing availability, cost, and space
* Working with suppliers to track deliveries and resolve issues
* Taking part in team meetings and cross‑functional projects

You’ll be fully supported with training, mentoring, and regular check‑ins, and we understand that everyone learns at a different pace.

* A positive approach to learning and trying new things
