Scaffolder apprenticeships & qualifications

Contact us using this form and select employer enquiry.

We will then be in touch to gather your requirements and discuss the best approach to get your vacancy live.

It’s managed by us. Once we have your information, we’ll add  your vacancy to the National Apprenticeship Service website and monitor the number of applications.

We’ll  firstly filter the applications based on  what you’re looking for in a candidate. To comply with regulations, the applications will be sent via a secure file sharing system. 

Just let us know the name of the person and we’ll arrange a meeting with you to organise their apprenticeship programme.

We can always extend your closing date or re-advertise your vacancy at a later date. 

You’re not under any obligation to recruit someone from the site, but if you do, you’ll have to make sure they’re signed up to an apprenticeship programme with Total People. 

In addition,  we’ll promote your vacancy for free in our weekly applicant newsletter and highlight the vacancy on our homepage carousel.  We’ll also promote your vacancy on our social media channels.

You’ll be assigned an experienced Recruitment Officer who’ll keep you up to date with your vacancy and will support you through the process. 

If you’re looking for industry specific information, we'll link you with a colleague from the vocational team who will be able to answer any questions or queries. 

It really is that straight forward! So call  today on 03333 222 666 or complete a contact form below and a member of our team will contact you.

Apprenticeships give you the professional skills and knowledge you need for your chosen career. They’re a mixture of  on-the-job training and classroom learning that mean you can  earn while you learn.

• Earn and learn, receive a wage and gain a qualification.
• Gain a nationally recognised qualification.
• Receive friendly support and guidance.
• Gain invaluable work and real world experience.
• Become an essential part of a team.
• Improve your career prospects.
• Progress within your chosen industry.
• No debt!

Usually  between 12 and 18 months, however some can last over 24 months.

It’s quick and easy. 

• Search for an apprenticeship vacancy on our website or the ‘find apprenticeship’ government website. 
• Sign in or create an account 
• Complete and submit your application. 

And that’s all there is to it. You’ve just applied for an apprenticeship! 

The current minimum wage for an apprentice is £8.00, but a lot of employers pay a higher hourly wage and this can vary between sectors and employers. Every vacancy we post clearly states how much you’ll earn so you’re fully aware before you apply for a role.

To become an apprentice you need to be 16 or over.  However, it’s always best to start  looking for  vacancies five to six months before you want to get a job. This means you’ll be ready and know what to do  when it comes to applying.  There’s no upper age limit to becoming an apprentice.

It’s not necessary but some employers may ask for it. Make sure you check the vacancy information first to see if  any specific experience or grades are needed.

Apprenticeships are a great stepping stone  to a long-term career. More than 90% of apprentices stay in employment after their course ends, which shows how beneficial they can be.
