Training:

We would look for you to join us in September 2026 with your apprenticeship training beginning shortly afterwards.

You will be managed by a line manager and have a mentor to offer further support. You will have on-the-job training and in-house development opportunities during your apprenticeship.

You will have 1 day per week dedicated to your 20% off-the-job training with the training provider, JC Training & Consultancy. They will deliver the off-the-job training in an online style and you will also have regular review meetings with your tutor and line manager every 3 months.

As well as the taught content, there will be a large amount of self-study, regular assignments, and an end-point assessment period. You must be committed to your own development and training, as this element forms a significant aspect of a modern apprenticeship.

Please note: Before applying, we recommend you consider if the delivery method suits your learner's needs. We would also recommend you look at the information about the apprenticeship on the training provider's website, as well as researching the requirements of an apprenticeship to help you decide whether an apprenticeship is right for you.
