• Our policy is to promote from within, and many of our staff started in roles like this before moving up to Sales, Account Management and Managerial roles.

You MUST be prepared to commit to your work and training for the duration of the apprenticeship. In some cases, you may be required to have a telephone interview with Yeovil College prior to your application being passed on. If a suitable candidate is found prior to the advertised closing date, it may close earlier so please apply early to avoid disappointment.
