A word from some of our apprentices
Kaylee White, Estates Project Apprentice, said: “Being an apprentice is a brilliant experience. I have had so much support from my manager, mentor and the wider team. Usually, I am juggling five or six projects at a time and get to be on-site a lot, which I love.
“I went from a job where I knew everything to a job where I knew nothing – but I am 100% glad I did.”
Ollie Adams, Apprentice Assistant Premise Manager, said: “Being an apprentice is so enjoyable as every day is different.
“I applied as I wanted a career and this way you are getting paid to learn, plus there are so many people in the team with loads of experience who you can turn to if you get stuck.”
Carol Palfrey, Admin Office Manager/PA for our Maintenance team, said: “An apprenticeship opens your eyes to the rest of the Trust. I’ve had to do lots of research about values, policies and systems and it’s really interesting to see how your department fits into the organisation.”
