Staff apprenticeships

 

The University’s policy and supporting guidance on the employment of apprentices has been developed to support University departments and managers who wish to employ apprentices in compliance with the Apprenticeship Levy funding rules. The University will support employment via apprenticeship where there are known succession challenges or a recognised need to develop talent pools of appropriately qualified and skilled employees.

There are two different options for apprentices. Staff Apprenticeships , where the apprentice is employed directly by the University and Flexi-job Apprenticeships where apprentices are employed by an Apprentice Training Agency.

Flexi-job apprenticeships are available in the following categories

Visit the Flexi-Job Apprenticeships page for more information.

For Staff Apprenticeships, please refer to the information in the pages linked below.

Contact your HR Business Partner in the first instance for support with your staff apprenticeship recruitment requirements.

For all other queries regarding staff apprenticeships, please contact Ask HR.
