We are currently seeking enthusiastic individuals to join us as our newest Apprentice Property Maintenance Operatives. You'll attend college once a week and on the other four days, work on-the-job, on site with our team, actively learning all aspects of the profession. This is a 24 month Fixed Term Contract determined by the length of the Apprenticeship. It is due to start in October 2026. As one of our valued Apprentices, you'll be allocated a work mentor, given comprehensive training, guidance and support and have access to Coastline's internal Apprentice networking group, where Apprentices across the business get together to provide support, share experiences and build personal and professional relationships. We have two roles available and the offer of employment will be subject to successful acceptance on the College course.
