Recruitment support

We'll find, onboard and train your next apprentice

Our recruitment service helps you bring in new talent through a tailored apprenticeship, with training and 1:1 support for every recruit, so you build skilled, long-term staff without stretching your existing team.

How it works

From vacancy to first day

Brief us

A short call about the role, the hours, the pay and the kind of person who would thrive in your team.

We advertise and shortlist

We promote the role through our networks and the government's Find an Apprenticeship service, screen applicants and send you a shortlist.

You interview and choose

You make the hiring decision. We help with the paperwork, the Apprenticeship Service and any incentive claims.

We train and support

Your new starter begins their apprenticeship with a named tutor, and you get regular progress reviews.

Financial incentives

Hiring a 16–24 year old can bring in up to £6,000

When you hire a 16–24 year old through an apprenticeship, training is fully funded, there are no employer National Insurance contributions, and the government's incentive payments are stackable:

  • £2,000 SME hiring incentive for non-levy employers
  • £1,000 young apprentice payment for hiring someone aged 16–18, or 19–24 with an EHCP or care leaver status
  • £3,000 Universal Credit youth jobs grant for hiring an 18–24 year old who has been on Universal Credit for six months or more

Unlike training funding, these payments go directly to your organisation and can cover uniform, equipment, mentoring time or onboarding costs. Full detail on the funding and costs page.

A progressive pathway

Recruit at Level 2, keep them to Level 4

Recruit a young person onto the Level 2 Administrative Assistant apprenticeship. Once they complete, they progress to a Level 3 or Level 4 programme depending on their skills and ambitions, so you build a career path, not just fill a vacancy.
