Skills, Knowledge, and Experience
What will you bring?
Qualifications
It's about enthusiasm, not school results. The most successful apprentices are those who are driven to learn more about the sector, are self-reflective, and eager to learn the job role!
Experience
We're looking for individuals with a passion to develop a career in a manufacturing environment and who are eager to learn and progress within a successful business. If you already have experience in a Process Operator role, or a manufacturing/warehouse environment, even better!
About you
This is a hands-on and practical role, so you should be willing to get stuck in. We're looking for someone who is focused and careful in all aspects of work. You'll need to love variety and have a flexible approach to your everyday tasks! You will have good health and safety awareness and be able to work towards strict health and safety guidelines.
Please note, because of the nature of this position, you must be aged 18 or older for laboratory insurance purposes and must hold a full UK driving license.
So how does the apprenticeship work?
Over 24 months, you'll devote a minimum of 6 hours of your working week on 'off the job' training. This will count towards a Level 3 Science Manufacturing Technician apprenticeship. You'll be trained by an expert tutor from Tiro as well as an experienced mentor at Cornelius.
Eligibility
You'll need to be over 16, not in full-time education, have lived in the UK for 3 years, and have the right to work in the UK.
