This Trust supported programme will run over an 18-month contracted period. The working hours are hours per week.

There will also be the opportunity to apply for appropriate positions within the organisation on completion of the Apprenticeship.

There will be lots of opportunity to join in learning events and activities, in the workplace that will also support your professional and personal development.
