Job description

Job responsibilities

Apprentices support qualified Craftspersons in the maintenance, operation, and repair of systems. They assist with duties such as installation, fault finding, repair and maintenance tasks to ensure the effective operation of equipment and estates. The level of direct involvement and autonomy will typically scale across an apprentices employment in line with their skill, experience and training level.

The nature of hospital work sites ranges from commercial level infrastructure through to industrial level infrastructure and therefore requires all operatives to possess a high degree of training and expertise in its maintenance and operation. In addition to this, many of our customers are vulnerable adults and children, whom may be more susceptible to injury, harm or death should these operations or maintenance functions be poorly or incorrectly undertaken.

The purpose of incorporating apprentices within the team is to provide a pathway for non-qualified individuals to enter the National Health workforce and attain the skills, qualifications and experience required to be considered a competent craftsperson, with the result yielding to progression opportunities and a potential career. Training typically takes 3 or more years to complete before being ready for promotion.
