Jisc is the UK’s digital, data and technology agency for tertiary education, research and innovation, uniquely positioned to lead and support the sector in building a better digital future for students, communities and society.

At Jisc, we’re proud to foster a supportive and inclusive environment where every voice is valued. Our September 2026 apprenticeship programme offers a range of exciting opportunities designed to help you grow and thrive in the digital sector. Whether you're just beginning your journey or expanding on existing technical experience, we’ll provide the tools and training to help you succeed.

We live by our guiding principles and welcome applicants who share our values and are driven by our mission to improve lives through digital transformation.

• Customer First: Take ownership, communicate effectively, and focus on quality solutions that deliver on our promises.
• Never Stand Still: Look ahead, welcome new ideas, and drive continuous improvement.
• Make an Impact: Be confident, stay curious, and deliver meaningful, sustainable value for our customers.
• Always Inclusive: Collaborate openly, embrace diversity, and create space for every voice to be heard.

The Advice Team provides practical guidance, training, and community spaces to help organisations improve digital accessibility and inclusion. As an apprentice, you’ll gain experience in accessibility standards, assistive technologies, and inclusive design, while collaborating with experts across the Jisc Advice Team and Jisc’s Accessibility Champions staff network. This is your chance to make a real impact on accessibility and digital inclusion.

Imagine starting your day researching the latest accessibility standards and best practices, then jumping into a team session to help shape training materials that empower others to create inclusive digital experiences.

You might spend time developing practical resources like checklists and guides, collaborate with designers and developers to embed accessibility from the start, and support content creators to make documents and media accessible.

Later, you could engage with real users of assistive technology, gathering feedback to improve digital experiences, or help run our Accessibility Champions programme. You’ll get feel for supporting projects, meetings, and even high‑level policy engagement events.

Every day, you’ll be promoting inclusion, learning from experts, and contributing to projects that make a real difference in digital accessibility.
