Apprentice Bricklayer Barratt Redrow PLC Ironbridge

You’ll learn both on the job and during intensive residential training weeks at college. All accommodation, travel and subsistence is paid for during the block weeks and you’ll start off with three weeks in college, returning home each weekend. This will prepare you to fully contribute as soon as you get on site.

You will then return to college approximately every 20 weeks, for a two-week block of intensive training – where you’ll be earning all the time. At the end of your Intermediate Apprenticeship, you’ll have more experience and valuable job skills, plus a nationally recognised apprenticeship qualification - but that’s just the beginning!
