We’ve just said an emotional goodbye to our first apprentice Andy – who enjoyed his time at the shop, learned a lot while gaining a qualification, made many new friends, and is now busy applying for jobs. He’s already had some offers but is carrying on looking, his confidence boosted by a year’s useful experience at the shop.
We are now looking for our next apprentice! The job is being advertised on the Government-supported apprenticeship website – all training towards qualifications being organised and provided by others through Government support. First4Skills in Bristol are handling all applications for us, so any enquiries should be emailed to their Jason Parry in the first instance.
But we are hoping that we will find another LOCAL youngster – so if you know of anyone, please will you encourage them to apply? We also welcome any enquiries at the shop. We expect any potential candidate would want to see what the shop is like and what is involved in the job. And what friendly manager and volunteers he/she would be working with!
