IT services firm to create a dozen apprenticeship places

Retail Assist apprentices

Nottingham IT services company Retail Assist says it is on the lookout for 12 apprentices.

After its first raft of apprentices completed the course, Retail Assist is now looking to employ three apprentices per quarter to see 12 apprenticeship roles created throughout the calendar year.

Rae Hayward, head of people, said: “Exam results might be just around the corner, but going to college or university doesn’t always have to be the route that you have to take in order to further your education. Our apprenticeship scheme not only pays above the average apprenticeship wage, but our intake also receives regular support whilst gaining an industry-recognised qualification. We believe in nurturing people to grow their knowledge and skillset within a fast-paced working environment.”

The 18-month course sees the apprentices receive on the job training, whilst their studies will gain them a City and Guilds Customer Service Practitioner Level 2 qualification.

Matthew Proudlove, chief operating officer, said: “At Retail Assist, we’re committed to the development of our people and are proud of the progress many of our team members have made. Many of our Help Desk Call Analysts have progressed to roles within project management and client service management, so we see our apprentice recruitment as the first step in an exciting IT career.”
