New Opportunities for 2025 to join our highly successful Installations apprenticeship programme.
Are you interested in learning a new profession, gaining new skills and experience to launch your career with the UK’s leading home improvement retailer?
Do you have plumbing qualifications and want to establish yourself as a Bathroom Installer through an apprenticeship?
We’re looking to recruit new colleagues onto our established 18-month programme. The apprenticeship offers a unique opportunity within the trade sector, combining life and trade skills with mentoring support. On completion, you'll earn a nationally recognized qualification (Level 2 Fitted Interiors).
Wickes works with over 2000 installers across the UK. The apprenticeship programme can open doors to many careers in the industry and opportunities for those seeking a flexible sector that can also support setting up their own business.
During your apprenticeship, you will work alongside a Wickes Approved Installer, installing Wickes bathrooms into customers’ homes. This provides a fantastic opportunity to gain practical experience and apply your learning in a real-world environment.
The formal training will be delivered by our approved training provider, WEBS, in partnership with a skills college. The focus will be on technical bathroom fitting, customer service, behavior, and setting up your own business. WEBS is a well-established independent training provider with over 50 years of experience in serving the furniture manufacturing sector.
Throughout the programme, you will have a personal training officer and support from your Line Manager to help plan your future career post-apprenticeship.
To be part of this opportunity, you should have a genuine interest in a trade-focused career, with the energy to thrive in a dynamic environment where no day is the same.
Additional tools and qualities required:
* Excellent practical skills and awareness of health and safety
* A ‘can-do’ attitude with problem-solving skills and the ability to meet deadlines
* Great communication skills and customer focus
* A driven and determined attitude to succeed
As an apprentice, you will be required to travel to customers’ homes, so a valid driving license and access to a vehicle are necessary.
