National Trust Apprenticeship Scheme

National Trust • Full-time • United Kingdom • 1m ago

We’re keen to open up new routes to working at the National Trust. That’s why we’re continually growing the number and range of apprenticeships we offer. So that you can earn while you learn and take care of the special places and spaces that matter to you.

Our apprenticeships are open to everyone and offer paid work-based learning opportunities that will help you set the course for a future career in the cultural heritage sector and beyond. You don’t need to have previous experience or lots of qualifications to apply, although a small amount of related volunteering might give you a taste of what the role could involve. All you really need is GCSE Grade 2 (or E grade) in English and Maths or equivalent for our level 2 roles (and typically a grade 4/C for level 3 and above depending on the role), and we’ll support you to gain these qualifications if you don’t have them already. We’re an equal opportunities employer and a member of the Apprenticeship Ambassador Network. We welcome applications from everyone regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marital status, maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.

Our apprenticeships vary in length, challenge and structure, depending on the occupation you’re training for. They’ll always last for a minimum of 12 months but in most cases run for longer. All apprenticeships involve off-the-job training, supported by a dedicated mentor and a separate training provider. This could involve either the training provider coming to your workplace or you attending college and varies depending on the role.

Our friendly teams will be on hand to welcome you when you start and answer any questions you might have. You’ll also be assigned a dedicated line manager and a mentor to give you all the support you need throughout your apprenticeship. While we can’t guarantee a permanent role at the end of your apprenticeship, we encourage everyone to apply for roles within the Trust and we’ll also support you to look for suitable positions elsewhere.
