Work

Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.

What you'll do at work

As an apprentice Property Maintenance Operative you’ll work with both individual colleagues and as part of a bigger team, which repair and maintain our customer’s homes and many other properties we own too.

Working within the Voids - Repairs and Maintenance team you’ll learn all the skills and knowledge needed to become a Property Maintenance Operative. It’s all done through on-the-job experience so you’ll be getting stuck in with all tasks relevant to property maintenance such as repairing walls, carpentry and joinery, tiling, plastering, painting and decorating, basic plumbing, safe isolation, so you can effectively support the team.

The Voids team are super experienced and will have your back, they’ll show you everything you need to know before you’re expected to complete any tasks on your own.

College is part of the deal, so as well as attending week, you’ll also need to collect information about your achievements for your portfolio and complete all the required learning and assessment criteria within the deadlines given by your tutor.

Finally, you’ll also have some great opportunities to get involved in wider corporate initiatives aimed at developing Beyond Housing and our services for both customers and colleagues!
