Description

Alongside your role you will be working towards your Customer Service Practitioner Apprenticeship qualifications. You will gain new skills and knowledge whilst being supported along the way by our Apprenticeship partner Haddon Training. You will have regular 1:1’s and training sessions with your dedicated Trainer Coach who will help you develop your skills.

Once you have achieved your Apprenticeship, which is likely to take you 15 months, you will have the opportunity to become a permanent member of the team.
