Work

As an apprentice, you'll work at a company and get hands-on experience. You'll gain new skills and work alongside experienced staff.

What you'll do at work

Your work will vary from contract to contract, but here’s an idea of what you’ll be up to:

  • Working on projects predominantly in social housing
  • Covering areas including (but not limited to): Bristol and Swindon
  • Locations may vary depending on contracts, and you may occasionally travel further afield. We will help with transport where possible
  • A driving licence isn’t needed straight away, but you’ll be expected to work towards obtaining one so you can travel to sites independently once qualified. It’s your responsibility to travel to an agreed pick‑up location in the meantime
  • Being an apprentice Multi Trade Operative means that you won't specialise in one trade, rather you will work on jobs that come under a range of different trades to repair and maintain properties
  • Ripping out and preparing empty properties for new tenants
  • Planned and responsive repair work
  • You will gain an overview and basic understanding of multiple trades including carpentry, electrical, plastering and plumbing. You will not gain an apprenticeship in a single trade i.e. Carpentry but will become a qualified Multi Trade Operative instead
  • Work both inside and outside in all weather, whether it’s boiling hot or freezing cold!

You’ll also:

  • Attend college to understand the “how and why” of your trade (usually 1 day a week)
  • Build an awesome portfolio of evidence for your End Point Assessment (EPA)
  • Be a valued team member and contribute to our overall success
