UK Only - Apprenticeship Opportunity

We may offer adaptations of this role as an apprenticeship within the UK.

An apprenticeship is a genuine job and you will be employed from day one and is an alternative to post-16 and post-18 education. Apprenticeships combine practical training in a job with study. They are a great way to simultaneously gain practical skills and formal qualifications. Depending on the exact course (and where you are in your own education) you will get the equivalent of either A-Levels or a Foundation Degree/beyond.

Given the seniority of this role, we would expect any relevant apprenticeship to be at L5 seniority, or above, such as a Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship.

All of your training is fully funded by ourselves and the UK Government. Get in touch if this is of interest to you.
