Brief Description
Build a real trade and get paid to learn it. We are looking for a reliable, hands-on apprentice to join our Window and Door team. You will work alongside experienced installers on social housing and private projects, gaining your Level 2 qualification while learning the high standards that set our work apart.
Training to be Provided
All aspects of your training will be delivered on-site with your employer.
Earn While You Learn: All your training takes place during your normal working hours—and you get paid for every minute of it.
Mentoring: Most of your week is spent on-site with an expert mentor who will show you exactly how to install windows, doors, and glass safely and professionally.
Dedicated Study Time: We set aside specific hours each week just for you to focus on your coursework, online learning, and workbooks.
Expert Support: You’ll have an assigned Assessor who visits you on-site at least every 10 weeks to check your progress and give you feedback.
Flexible Learning: You can choose the style that fits you best, either a full day of training every 10 weeks or "bite-sized" 2-hour sessions every month.
All of this leads to your Level 2 Fenestration Installer qualification, giving you a massive head start and the professional credentials to build a great career in the trade.
Future Prospects
This apprenticeship is designed to lead to a permanent position within our Window and Door team on successful completion.
The right candidate will progress from apprentice to qualified installer, taking on greater responsibility, working independently on site and eventually leading their own installations. As the company continues to grow, there will be opportunities to move into senior installer roles, specialist works or supervisory positions.
We are not looking for short term labour. We are looking to invest our time, skills and experience into someone who wants to build a long-term career in the trade and become a key part of a growing business.
