Company Company Profile
Training & Profiles
Our current programmes are delivered in house by our experienced Apprenticeships team, who will ensure you get all the support you need to reach your full potential. You’ll be assigned an Apprentice Mentor who will assess your work and ensure you’re on track. They’re also on hand to coach you through any challenges you may be having with your programme.
Our experienced team of Facilitators will run your workshops which provide a great opportunity to network with other apprentices within your region and really build your knowledge.
All of our programmes give you the opportunity to driver performance across your business area and deliver projects that will positively impact what we do. Our supportive 'family feel' encourages you to challenge the way we do things, take risks and learn what works for you.
Application Procedure
The recruitment for our Apprenticeship Programmes happens throughout the year so keep an eye on our Careers website for upcoming opportunities. Our Apprenticeship programmes are also available to all of our existing colleagues so no matter which role you join us in, that opportunity will be open to you.
The assessment process will require you to complete an online questionnaire, complete an online strengths assessment and then come along to a face to face interview at the location your apprenticeship will be based at.
