3 days ago

Walton Hall, United Kingdom Tiro - Science & Technology Apprenticeships Full time

_**Working for The Open University**_

In 1969 one ambition changed the world, giving anyone, anywhere the power to learn. Established by the Royal Charter and globally recognised, The Open University has pioneered distance learning for over 50 years, delivering exceptional teaching and outstandingsupport to students across the UK and the world.
Our mission is to make learning accessible to all, and together we’ve already helped over 2 million students to realise their ambitions.
- **What it’s like working in this role**_

This is a hands-on role, where you will be responsible for supporting all the laboratory’s testing, research, and development needs. Just know that as an apprentice you will be working as part of a close-knit team, so you won’t be alone.

You will be trained in how to work safely in a quality-controlled laboratory with support from your mentor, whilst maintaining excellent housekeeping and in accordance with Health and Safety, environment, and risk management systems.

With the support of your mentor, you’ll be assembling and modifying apparatus, ensuring that stock levels are maintained, and future requirements are identified. You will maintain equipment and notify the lab manager of any defects requiring attention.

No two days are ever the same as a laboratory technician. You’ll be working with Environmental simulation chambers, assisting researchers in assembling, disassembling and testing equipment in the lab. You will have the opportunity to meet others, aidingprofessional progression and skill sharing.

You will learn how to prepare different types of samples for subsequent analysis in different chambers, how to obtain accurate data and how to report it.

During your time with us, you will be involved in some project work too. This will give you the opportunity to gain even more in-depth knowledge but at the same time, it will allow you to be creative and put forward your ideas.

**What could the future look like?**

There’s no limit to what you can achieve if you work for Open University, with potential for the successful applicant to be offered a full-time position working with the business at the end of the apprenticeship.

**_Requirements_**

**Experience**

Whilst previous experience is great, we at Tiro are always open to wildcards. We’re not just interested in experience and qualifications, we’re looking for someone with the right attitude and aptitude to fit right in at The Open University.

**Qualifications**

It’s about enthusiasm, not school results. In our experience the most successful apprentices are those who have drive to find out more about the sector, can be up front about what they do and don’t already know, are considerate, self-reflective and impatientto learn the job role

**Skills and characteristics**

Being proactive in your own development and willingness to commit to lifelong learning and development is key.

Someone who’s genuinely curious about the worlds of science and technology. You’ll give the role your all and will fundamentally be hungry to learn and most importantly willing to take the first step into a life changing career.

Even if this doesn’t sound quite like you, but you still think you could do a great job in the role, get in touch. We’re always open to wildcards.
- **So how does the apprenticeship work?**_

At Tiro we’re obsessed with changing lives through science and technology apprenticeships so we can’t wait to have you on board.

Over 21 months, you’ll devote a minimum of 6 hours of your working week on 'off the job’ training. This can include theory training (for example, virtual lessons & online learning), alongside practical training (for example shadowing, mentoring, & time spentwriting assignments. Together this will count towards a Level 3 Laboratory Technician apprenticeship. You’ll be trained by an expert tutor from Tiro as well as an experienced mentor at Open University who together, will make sure you develop the knowledge,skills, and work habits you’ll need to succeed in your career.

The best part? You’ll be earning a salary while you gain your qualifications, meaning no huge student loans to pay back at the end of the programme
