• Support planned and cyclical painting programmes, refurbishment projects, property improvements and building fabric repairs.
• Learn how to safely use industry‑standard tools, equipment and specialist decorating materials.

As part of your apprenticeship, you will be enrolled onto a Level2 Painter and Decorator Apprenticeship with Nottingham College, which typically takes around two years to complete. Your manager, mentor and painting team will be based in Nottingham and will support your development throughout the programme. You will be fully supported through a combination of college learning, on‑the‑job training, e‑learning materials and guidance from experienced industry professionals.

Whilst the apprenticeship team is based in Nottingham, projects may be located across the East and West Midlands. You will travel with the team to site locations, giving you exposure to a wide range of customers, properties and projects.

The dedicated Apprenticeship Team will support you every step of the way, helping you make the most of your opportunities and achieve the goals you already have and those you have yet to discover.
