At Great Places Housing Group, we’re committed to developing future talent from early on. Our award-winning Growing Greatness programme allows our apprentices to gain real-life skills, practical knowledge, and an accredited apprenticeship standard, to support them into the working world and beyond.
Recruiting new talent supports our vision and ambitions for the future, and with a range of apprentices roles across the business, there could be the perfect opportunity for you!
All our apprentices start on salaries ranging from £19,838 to £22,105 (depending on hours). We also have a fantastic colleague offer available.
We support our apprentices to achieve an apprenticeship standard. We also help them complete role specific training to enhance their experience.
Our apprentices work alongside experienced and helpful team members, and we have a designated colleague who ensures our programmes run effectively. Growing Greatness allows apprentices from across all areas of the business to come together to share their experience and build meaningful connections.
Our apprentices are provided with the equipment needed to be successful in their role. Our Repairs apprentices are provided with a funded toolkit.
At Great Places, we pride ourselves on being a great provider of excellent opportunities for those looking to progress in a career pathway of their choice. Our Growing Greatness programme forms part of our learning and development offer and is our entry-level programme, largely aimed at apprentices and graduates to support them as they start out in their careers.

Depending on the apprenticeship will depend on the length of the programme. This can be between 18 months and 4 years.
Most of our apprentices attend college one day per week and are paid to do so. All apprentices are required to have time for off-the-job training. We work with local training providers and colleges to ensure our apprentices are on track to complete their apprenticeship on time.
Yes! Apprentices will be supported by their line manager and mentors plus we have a designated colleague in our People Development Team who will be on hand to help you when you need it.
We always want our apprentices to be hardworking and fully committed to their studies and role. We understand an apprenticeship is a learning opportunity so we don’t ask for experience but we do like to welcome people who can work well in a team, manage their time well and enjoy working with customers. Most importantly, we want people who are passionate about starting a career in social housing.
We have apprentices working across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, and South Yorkshire.
Usually, our apprentice roles open for application in the late spring/summer, and successful candidates will then start with us in September. Keep an eye on our social media and careers vacancies page for more information.
