Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
This will be a fast-paced job role, assisting the trades and labour side of the business. The right candidate must be confident and ready to take on a new challenge in a fast-paced office environment. For this role it is desired that you drive or look to in the future, as you will be expected in your future career to drive to our sites to do face fit tests, which you will be getting full training for.
Other roles you will be getting trained and expected to do include:
- Registering candidates and uploading their right to work and other important documents to their profile
- Assist the consultants by posting job ads for them
- Taking phone calls & messages and helping resource new candidates to fill the jobs we get in
- Creating documents, including contracts & CV formatting on Microsoft Word
- To help you build up a relationship with our clients, you will do general aftercare, which means ringing up the people we have out on sites and checking up on them to see how everything is going on site for them and if they have any issues to raise
