Housebuilder searching for new apprentices in South Wales

Barratt Homes is continuing its positive work to support local employment by creating six new roles to develop talent across South Wales in the construction industry.

The leading housebuilder, which has its regional base in Cardiff, aims to recruit six new trade apprentices specialising in bricklaying and carpentry to work across its local developments.

Managing director Steve Williams said, “The construction industry is continuing to grow and this is an exciting time for anyone with an interest in housebuilding to join a market leading company.

“As one of the country’s top developers we are absolutely committed to developing raw talent and I believe that we have a duty to provide these kinds of apprenticeship opportunities,” he said.

“Barratt is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year and we are extremely proud of our apprenticeship scheme and the talented team members that have passed through it and stayed with the company over the years.”

The new trade apprentices, who start in September, will be based on a housing development site in South Wales and will learn skills in bricklaying or joinery from experienced tradespeople for four days a week.

They will also spend one day a week at college undertaking a qualification in their chosen field.

All programmes are well structured and tailored to individual needs. Apprentices will receive encouragement, support and guidance to help them develop, giving the skills and qualifications for a successful career.

“Our successful apprentices go on to have amazing careers with us and they play an important part in developing our talent of the future. By learning and providing new skills they help us to meet the future challenges of the housebuilding industry,” added Steve.
