3 weeks ago

Bristol, United Kingdom South Gloucestershire Council Full time

**How you'll make a difference**:
The StreetCare Design and Operations Team has an exciting forward programme of future highway schemes. We have a £125m package of schemes to deliver as part of the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement. This involves delivering the reopening of Charfield Railway Station and two active multimodal travel corridors along the A432 and A38 corridors.

We are looking for five enthusiastic apprentices to join our frontline team, contributing to the delivery of frontline Highways work. As a Groundworker Apprentice, you will make a difference by supporting the StreetCare Design and Operations team who play a key role in the delivery of frontline highway maintenance, civil engineering and structural engineering schemes throughout South Gloucestershire.

**What will you be doing?**

Groundworkers are the first trade onto a construction and civil engineering site and they work closely with supervisors and engineers in interpreting design specifications to prepare the site ready for the structural building works to take place.
- You will be working fixed hours, with the following shift pattern: 7:45am to 4.30pm Monday to Thursday and 7:45am to 3.30pm Friday.
- Working alongside experienced staff, you will support and contribute towards the physical construction of a wide variety of features including, site clearance, fencing, drainage, earthworks, traffic signs, road markings and retaining walls.
- You will learn and assist in highways maintenance, civil engineering and structural engineering works.
- In addition, you’ll be taught how to undertake general manual labouring work, assisting in excavations, reinstatements and specialist practices such as asphalt mixes, landscaping, structures and temporary traffic management.
- The most challenging part of this apprenticeship will be being responsible for your own safety on site as well as your fellow workers and the general public, adhering to directed safe methods of work at all times.
- Throughout your 21 month apprenticeship, we will allocate you a workplace mentor to give you guidance and support throughout your completion of the apprenticeship programme. You will also have the support of a College Assessor throughout your programme.

**Things we need you to know**:
You will be expected to participate in a 21 month Groundworker Apprenticeship at Level 2. The training provider will be Gloucestershire College and you will attend block release training at their Cheltenham campus.

Gloucestershire College will deliver the Level 2 Groundworker apprenticeship with block release training. Across the 21 months, there will be regular progress reviews and support from a College Assessor to build your portfolio of evidence.

This apprenticeship will provide you with a highly transferable set of knowledge and skills. When you aren't learning with Gloucestershire College, the rest of your time will be spent with us learning on the job.

In addition to your workplace mentor, you will also be allocated an assessor by Gloucestershire College who will complete regular reviews with you to ensure you are on track and progressing through your programme.

This apprenticeship requires you to complete an end point assessment which will see you demonstrate what you have learned as an apprentice.
