Apprentice Bricklayer or Carpenter/Joiner (England & Wales)

Apprentice Bricklayer or Carpenter/Joiner (England & Wales)

You will be working with experienced trade specialists towards gaining a nationally recognised apprenticeship qualification through on and off the job, trade specific training. Our Trade Apprentice Programme is run with Apprenticeship provider partners at several locations across the country.

It mixes college learning with practical on-site training with experienced trade specialists, and a programme that goes well beyond the standard syllabus. Once you’re accepted, you’ll start an 18-month structured Intermediate Apprenticeship, that’s at least 6 months quicker than other programmes.

What to Expect:

You’ll learn both on the job and during intensive residential training weeks at college. All accommodation, travel and subsistence is paid for during the block weeks and you’ll start off with three weeks in college, returning home each weekend. This will prepare you to fully contribute as soon as you get on site.

You will then return to college approximately every 20 weeks, for a two-week block of intensive training – where you’ll be earning all the time. At the end of your Intermediate Apprenticeship, you’ll have more experience and valuable job skills, plus a nationally recognised apprenticeship qualification - but that’s just the beginning!

During your apprenticeship, you will be expected to complete the Barratt Training Manual along with your site and college work within agreed time limits and standards. You will need to be consistent at gathering quality work-based evidence, work with your colleagues to learn and develop your trade skills and communicate politely with lecturers, customers and colleagues. You will need to safely use and maintain hand tools, portable power tools and equipment.

Our programme will commence in September.

Once you’ve completed your Intermediate Apprenticeship, there are plenty more options available to you. If you’re as ambitious as we think you are, you’ll probably want to continue for a further year with our Advanced Apprenticeship (Carpentry/Joinery only).

Locations:

We welcome applicants who live within a 45 minute public transport commute from our site locations, or one hour by your own transport.
