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

At Theo - The Automotive Recruitment Specialists, we don’t do “make the tea” apprenticeships. You’ll be trained properly, supported by a high-performing team, and given the tools to build a genuine career in recruitment - not just a job.

What you’ll be doing:

You’ll work closely with our experienced recruitment consultants, learning the ropes and getting stuck in from day one:

  • Speaking to candidates daily and building relationships
  • Resourcing candidates for live automotive vacancies across the UK
  • Learning how to interview, qualify, and match people to roles
  • Managing candidate pipelines and CRM systems
  • Supporting consultants on key dealership and automotive accounts
  • Learning the commercial side of recruitment and how fees are earned

Where you'll work

STERLING HOUSE
LANGSTON ROAD
LOUGHTON

Apprenticeships include time away from working for specialist training. You’ll study to gain professional knowledge and skills.
