We’re looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join Community Housing as an Apprentice Electrician. This is a great opportunity to start or build on your electrical learning in a role where your work genuinely makes a difference to people’s homes and our local communities.

As an apprentice, you’ll earn while you learn, gain hands‑on experience alongside experienced electricians, and develop practical skills in a supportive environment where learning, development and RESPECT are central to how we work.

What you’ll learn and experience

During your apprenticeship, you’ll be supported to:

  • Learn how to carry out electrical installations, repairs and maintenance in customers’ homes, helping to keep properties safe, comfortable and well maintained
  • Work alongside skilled electricians, developing trade skills while learning how work is planned, prepared and completed right first time
  • Use a handheld device to record job updates, work completed and time spent, building good work habits and confidence
  • Deliver a friendly, respectful and professional service, recognising the importance of working in people’s homes
  • Work safely and responsibly, following company procedures and learning how to use tools and equipment correctly

You’ll gradually build confidence and capability as your skills and knowledge develop over time.

The training

You’ll receive a mix of practical, on-the-job learning with Community Housing and off‑the‑job training with an external provider. This combination will support your development both on site and through structured learning.

Training with the provider is usually around one day per week, although this may vary. Full details of the provider location and learning schedule will be confirmed once a successful offer has been made.

You’ll be working towards a Level 3 Domestic Electrician qualification.

Who we’re looking for

We welcome applications from people who:

  • Are keen to learn and develop a career in the electrical trade
  • Enjoy hands‑on, practical work
  • Are reliable, motivated and willing to balance work with college study
  • Share our values and show RESPECT towards customers, colleagues and communities
  • Prior learning or interest in electrical work would be beneficial, but  is not essential

Why choose an apprenticeship with us?

An apprenticeship with Community Housing offers more than just a qualification. You’ll be supported to grow your skills, confidence and professionalism while contributing to meaningful work that supports local communities.

Many of our colleagues began their careers as apprentices, and we’re proud to invest in developing future talent.
