Property Maintenance Operative Apprenticeship

Students gain practical experience across a range of construction trades, including bricklaying, painting & decorating, carpentry, roofing and plastering.

You will:

• Support the planning, preparation and delivery of property maintenance tasks in accordance with building safety regulations and legislation
• Create a safe working environment by implementing the necessary control measures, through the identification, mitigation and reporting of risks and hazards, and in line with health and safety legislation, policies and procedures
• Communicate effectively verbally and in writing, using digital technologies to access, identify, record and report information, liaise and coordinate with other team members, and provide customer service to internal and external customers, and respecting others

Topics include:

• Perform tiling repairs
• Perform maintenance painting and decorating
• Perform repairs to plastered surfaces
• Perform maintenance repairs using carpentry and joinery skills

Every employer is different and therefore the entry requirements can vary. As a guide, you ideally need GCSE grade 3 in English and Maths.

However, we will work with you and provide additional support to help you achieve their requirements, either prior to your Apprenticeship or during the delivery of your programme. An interest in the industry is essential.

If you are 19 or over, functional skills are not required unless requested by the apprentice’s employer.
