Northumbrian Water marks National Apprenticeship Week 2024 with over thirty vacancies

Northumbrian Water is celebrating the launch of National Apprenticeship Week 2024 with the highest number of roles ever advertised, to compliment the 55 apprentices already within the business.

For the first time in its history, the water supplier is launching over 30 apprenticeships roles to start in September.

A variety of jobs are available across the North East with roles in maintenance, water, people, customer and labs, the opportunities range from Level 3 advanced apprenticeships to a Level 6 degree apprenticeships.

All the apprentices are supported with a business mentor, and they are also provided with an in-depth development programme.

Niamh Jones, People Development Specialist at Northumbrian Water said:

“National Apprenticeship Week is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the value this form of training brings to individuals, businesses, communities and economies. It’s an exciting time for the water industry as we are offering the highest ever number of apprenticeship roles we have ever advertised and in a such a diverse range of roles.

“It’s also important to recognise that apprenticeship programmes aren’t just for school leavers because they can be used to help people take invaluable new steps in their careers, no matter what age they are, so we would recommend anyone who is considering an apprenticeship to apply.”

Due to the high diversity of roles available applications are only open for a short time and will close on the 18th February at midnight.
