About apprenticeships at Mears Group:

Apprenticeships are an underpinning part of Mears' philosophy; we are committed to developing the next generation of our workforce. Many of our most senior people started their working life as an apprentice. Whether you are fresh out of school or college or looking for a complete career change, we offer a great foundation to your future career and beyond.

As an Apprentice, you will be paid above the national minimum wage for your normal working hours plus time to do your college work, with opportunities for real-life experiences such as working in people's homes, getting involved in community projects, and improving lives through customer focus.

This apprenticeship will take around 12 months to complete and result in gaining your NVQ level 3 in customer service.

About the role:

As a Business Support Apprentice, you will develop within the role guided by your mentor. The role will be based within our customer service team working from our branch in Tonbridge. One day a week is allocated to complete your college coursework, with the option to work from home during this time.

You will not be required to attend college; all courses are online, and assessments are submitted via a secure portal.

You will be involved in a wide range of activities including data analysis to support complaints and compliments from clients, tenants, and residents, attending meetings and site visits, and arranging social value events with local schools and community groups.

For this position, you must live within a 10-mile radius of the branch and will be responsible for making your own way into the office.

Role Criteria:

• GCSE pass grade in both Math and English (Grade 4 and above or grade C and above)
• Great communication skills
• Knowledge of Microsoft Office, Excel, Outlook, Word, etc.

Application Process:

• To be considered for this apprenticeship, all applicants must submit their CV and a cover letter detailing why you are interested in the role and why you would like to be an apprentice.
• We will contact you to confirm if you have been selected for the next round, which will either be an invitation to an assessment centre or individual interviews.
• Please note that you will be required to complete a basic Math & English test during the selection process, similar to the assessments needed to join the college.
• All roles require candidates to have the right to work within the UK; Mears does not currently offer visa sponsorship. Candidates should be aware that all roles are subject to relevant DBS/Security checks.
