Barnet Homes is supporting National Apprentice Week from 5-11 March throughout the week by highlighting events and recruitment opportunities relevant to apprenticeships. We might even throw in a ‘throwback’ story on a success story of one of our previous apprentices.
So we thought there was no better time to promote the apprenticeships that one of our contractors, Mears, is offering right now.
The apprenticeships are for a duration of two years. For the first year the salary is £3.50 per hour, regardless of age, which amounts to approximately £7,000 per annum.
The salary increases in the second year of the apprenticeship in line with rates published on the gov.uk website – this figure is age dependent.
You can also learn while you earn, which involves a day release from work to attend a day of college. As a Mears apprentice, you will spend the other four days working assisting our employees who carry out responsive repairs on our maintenance contract.
If this sounds like it could be something you would like to find out more about, or you would like to request an application pack, please email Gary Fox, gary.fox@mearsgroup
