Apprenticeships by Bernicia

At Bernicia, apprenticeships are a great way to start your career while gaining real experience. Each year we welcome apprentices from many different backgrounds into our teams.

You could be working in a hands-on role with our trade teams such as electrical, joinery, plastering, bricklaying, plumbing & gas and multi-skilled or in one of our office teams like People Services, ICT, Finance, Customer Contact and Housing. Wherever you start, you will learn from experienced colleagues and gain skills that can support your future career.

Many of our apprentices choose to stay with us once their training is complete. In fact, more than 90% of our apprentices go on to secure permanent roles with Bernicia.
That means you are not just gaining a qualification, you are building a career.

We especially welcome applications from Bernicia tenants and people living in our communities.

If you are looking for a new opportunity, an apprenticeship with Bernicia could be the first step.

The apprenticeship application process for our September 2026 intake is now closed.

Further information regarding our 2027 intake will be released in springtime.
