Here at Consensus, our apprentices come from all walks of life. You may be a returning parent, school leaver, or just someone wanting a change in career. We don’t look for a particular type of person or specific experience.
What matters is your attitude and eagerness for learning. In return we guarantee you recognised academic or vocational qualifications, hands-on training and real work experience where you can make a valued contribution whilst earning a competitive salary within a fantastic environment.
id=”apprentice” Apprenticeships are structured training programmes which give you a chance to work (literally) towards a qualification. They help you gain the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in the sector. Getting into employment earlier means there’s lots of potential for you to progress in your career quickly. You can also begin to earn a good salary much earlier on in your life.
Apprenticeships give you fantastic experience in the sector and show Consensus that you can ‘hit the ground running’. Hands-on training gives you a real chance to put your skills into practice and helps you to gain more confidence in the working environment.
You earn while you learn. That’s right! No student loans, no tuition fees and, hopefully, no debt. Remuneration is above the average Government recommended Apprenticeship wage rate. You’ll be paid a salary by Consensus and we pay for your qualification… furthermore, you will be paid the wage rate as any other new employees into that role and for that location.
Choice? We provide around 17 different types of apprenticeships, So whether you’re looking for a career in direct support i.e. as a Support Worker, HR, Finance, Marketing etc we may have something for you!
Apprenticeships offer a varied learning experience. You won’t spend all of your days studying; most of the time you’ll be working, gaining knowledge and experience actually doing the job
and the disadvantages?
None! There are no disadvantages to joining Consensus on an Apprenticeship.
How often can we say there are no down sides to an amazing opportunity which could take you on the most rewarding and exciting career journey possible?

Meet our Apprentice
Chelsea Attridge, aged 20, began an Apprenticeship at Moor Lane in September 2019. As a young carer for her mum, she had always had an interest in adult social care and was keen to combine studying for a professional qualification while also gaining experience in a real-world social care environment.
