Maintenance Apprentice

What we are looking for in you

YMCA Dulverton Group are looking for someone who has a genuine interest in gaining various trade skills, is committed to learning and has a hands‑on approach. This is an exciting opportunity for someone to learn various trade skills from a committed and purposeful team, with a vast and diverse knowledge. You will need to have the safety of yourself and others as a primary consideration, show initiative, and be willing to assist others at all times.

You will work closely and under the supervision of the maintenance operatives and engage with appointed specialist contractors to gain an understanding of the work they are carrying out, in order to become rounded and aware of planned and reactive maintenance activities, and gain any information useful to yourself within your role.

We follow a safer recruitment process; all appointments are subject to an Enhanced DBS check and are required to provide two suitable references. All apprenticeships are expected to be completed within an 18‑month period.
