Your training

This programme is delivered via a day release delivery model which means that one day per week, your attendance is required at our Engineering Campus. This attendance is required during term time only.

You will work with expert assessors and tutors to develop new knowledge, skills and behaviours within the profession.

You will experience a blended learning model.

Please note: This is an apprenticeship vacancy, and the advertised closing date is provided as a guide only. The employer wishes to review applications and interview suitable candidates as they are received. As a result, this vacancy may close earlier than the advertised date if a suitable candidate is identified or if a high volume of applications is received. We therefore encourage interested applicants to apply as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

Where it leads

We are not looking for somebody simply to complete an apprenticeship and leave.

Our aim is to develop you into a skilled member of the company with the ability to work across:
Product Design → Prototyping → Manufacturing → Quality → Assembly → Production

As your skills, responsibility and contribution increase, your pay will increase too.

For the right person, this is an opportunity to build a long-term career inside a small British manufacturing company where you can genuinely see the products.
