Apprenticeships
How does it work?
Once we have matched your recruitment needs to an apprenticeship, we’ll find candidates for the role. Employing an apprentice means you get a staff member and we assess them on the job to give them a nationally recognised qualification.
How long?
Takes between 1-2 years to complete. Some are the equivalent of a degree and can be either on a full or part-time basis.
How much?
Employers need to cover the minimum apprenticeship wage of £6.40 per hour, although many employers choose to pay more. There is assistance and incentives for larger employers via the Apprenticeship Levy.
What jobs?
Business Administrator, Customer Service Practioner, Health & Social Care – Adult & Lead Adult Care Worker, Teaching Assistant, Childcare, Management, School Business Manager and Facilities Management.
