Apprenticeships are an excellent way of gaining new skills and developing your knowledge whilst working... and being paid. You get the benefit of both the hands-on experience of actually performing the everyday tasks and duties, and also the understanding and knowledge to back it up.
Courses typically take 12-18 months to complete, but that doesn't mean you have to leave at the end. We'd like to continue developing you and helping you reach your full potential, whether that is on a higher level course, or through in-house mentoring.

What is an Apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships are essentially a qualification and a job rolled in to one. The skills and knowledge you learn from your tutors will help you in your job role and the skills and knowledge you learn whilst working will help you achieve the qualification.
Apprenticeships can be undertaken by anyone, at any age, at any stage in their work life. They can help those starting out in the world of work, those who have worked for years and want a change, those who want to develop and many many more.

When you undertake an apprenticeship with us, we promise to:
- Provide you with on-the-job training in order to get the best from your apprenticeship
- Give you time during the day to work on your apprenticeship coursework and meet with your assessor
- Work with you to identify a development path with Verdant Leisure that goes beyond your apprenticeship
The right attitude is key to a successful career with Verdant Leisure.
Our customers are at the heart of everything we do and so we expect you to do everything in your power to make their Verdant experience the absolute best it could possibly be.
We don’t believe in ‘that’s not my job’ so you will need to be adaptable and flexible to help the wider park team meet and exceed our customers’ expectations.
