Training:

Your apprenticeship will be delivered through a blended learning approach, supported by our learning provider.   As part of the programme, you will work towards achieving your Level 3 CIPS Diploma in Procurement and Supply, providing you with a strong foundation for a future career in procurement.

Our apprenticeship has been designed to support you at every stage of your development, and throughout the programme you will be stretched, challenged and fully supported by a business that is committed to your professional growth.

Throughout the duration of your apprenticeship you will be appointed a workplace mentor to support you with your learning.

Training Outcome:

We have lots of fantastic success stories from previous apprentices who have gone on to achieve industry recognised qualifications through their apprenticeships and many of our past apprentices are still working within the business today or have gone onto have successful careers elsewhere. Our workplace culture will allow you to pick up not only the knowledge and skills to be used in your future career but also experience working in a professional but relaxed environment that will give you the confidence to excel in your role and develop as a professional.

We truly believe that we put our people at the heart of everything we do, and you will have the job security and development opportunities that are rare in the current climate, so why not join us, and be a part of our continuing growth and success?
