Job Description
Are you someone who’s itching to build a career in Software Engineering? Motability Operations has an exciting opportunity for you to join our Software Engineering team on an 18-month apprenticeship programme, with a view to progressing into a permanent role upon completion.
On the programme you’ll spend four days a week as a Software Engineer within one of our teams, and one day a week dedicated to completing an online education programme to achieve a Software Developer Level 4 Qualification. If you’re interested in obtaining a Level 6 Qualification, equivalent to a bachelor’s degree, we may be able to offer this upon completion of the initial apprenticeship.
When you’re working in our teams, you won't be on the side-lines – you'll be right in the thick of it, applying and broadening your skills, being an active member of our agile product teams. Your work will revolve around developing and maintaining production software that matters to both our internal and external customers.
We’re passionate about fostering collaboration and we believe in a level playing field where your voice and ideas count, regardless of your experience level. Of course, your colleagues will be there to guide you every step of the way. Plus, you'll have regular one-on-one chats with a dedicated mentor who'll be there to offer you even more advice and support.
Who you’ll be working with
The Software Engineering team is part of the Technology division of the company. Here, we collaborate across diverse agile product teams, consisting of Software Engineers, Quality Engineers, UX Designers, Business Analysts, Product Specialists, Product Owners, and a dedicated Scrum Master. Together, we join our expertise to deliver exceptional value to our customers.
We have a hybrid working environment, where we typically spend 3 days working together in the office, and 2 working from home.
