The Opportunity – Level 3 Learning and Development Apprenticeship

Start Date:

September 2026, typically for 24 months

Minimum Entry Criteria:
You'll need 3 A levels at a minimum of grade C and above, or a qualification equivalent. In addition, you’ll also need to have at least four GCSEs including Maths and English at C/4 or above.

Unfortuantly, JCB is unable to offer visa sponsorship or immigration support for its Early Careers Schemes, either now or in the future. This includes individuals currently on sponsored visas.

• You have a passion for helping others learn and develop.
• You enjoy working collaboratively and building strong relationships.
• You are organized, proactive, and keen to grow your skills in a dynamic environment.

This 24-month apprenticeship is designed to give you hands‑on experience in Learning & Development while you work towards a Level 3 qualification. You’ll learn from experienced professionals and contribute to projects that make a real impact on our business and our people.

During the scheme, you will complete four placements that align with our Learning & Development framework. Each placement offers the chance to work on key projects that drive excellence and innovation.

• Support the design and delivery of engaging learning programmes.
• Assist with coordinating training sessions and workshops.
• Help maintain learning resources and manage our Learning Management System (LMS).
• Gather feedback and contribute to continuous improvement of L&D initiatives.
• Work closely with colleagues to ensure learning aligns with business goals.

We’ll be reviewing applications against the essential criteria, then shortlisting and sending out links to our online assessments in November 2025 – January 2026. Once you’ve fully completed your online assessment, we’ll review it and provide you with an update within a few weeks. Please note, if you’ve not completed your online assessment then we won’t take your application further.

Successful candidates will be invited to attend an in‑person Assessment Centre between January and April 2026, followed by a call with feedback. Upon successful completion, we will guide you through the onboarding process, which will include a familiarisation day. Early Careers cohorts ordinarily start in early September.

This is your chance to join a company that’s not only picking up awards for its Early Careers schemes but also opens up opportunities for the long term. On a JCB Early Careers Scheme you’ll join a company that’s known for developing its people, and where there are opportunities for a career for life. You’ll receive 33 days’ holiday, and access to our stakeholder pension scheme.

You can also opt into our Private Medical scheme with Bupa. Additional perks include access to our onsite gym, in‑house doctor and dentist, a JCB Rewards Hub, and a Cycle to Work Scheme. As part of your scheme, you’ll be involved in a professional outdoor development programme in the Lake District and encouraged to network within the “Next Gen” society.

We value diversity and welcome applications from candidates from all backgrounds. We’re committed to ensuring our recruitment process is fair and inclusive. If you face any accessibility challenges with your online application and require additional support, you can email  for alternative formats.
