ABOUT YOU

This is a very hands on and practical role so you should have a passion for science, love to get your hands dirty and be willing to get stuck in from the offset!
We’re looking for someone who is focused and careful in all aspects of work. The ideal candidate would be inquisitive, eager to constantly learn and develop new knowledge and have an eye for detail. You will also need to be able to work collaboratively and as part of a friendly, enthusiastic and diverse team.
The ability to think on your feet and have good health & safety awareness is crucial due to the environment and nature of the role.
To succeed in this apprenticeship, you’ll need bags of enthusiasm, be a fantastic collaborator and be hungry to learn!

QUALIFICATIONS

It’s about enthusiasm, not school results. In our experience the most successful apprentices are those who are driven to find out more about the sector, can be up front about what they do and don’t already know, are considerate, self-reflective, and impatient to learn the job role!

EXPERIENCE

We’re not just interested in experience and qualifications; we’re looking for someone with the right attitude and aptitude to fit right in at Hampshire County Council.

So how does the apprenticeship work?*
At Tiro we’re obsessed with changing lives through science and technology apprenticeships so we can’t wait to have you on board.
Over 21 months, you’ll devote a minimum of 6 hours of your working week on ‘off the job’ training. This can include theory training (for example, virtual lessons & online learning), alongside practical training (for example shadowing, mentoring, & time spent writing assignments. Together this will count towards a Level 3 Laboratory Technician apprenticeship. You’ll be trained by an expert tutor from Tiro as well as an experienced mentor at Hampshire County Council who together, will make sure you develop the knowledge, skills, and work habits you’ll need to succeed in your career.
Being an apprentice is hands-on, so you’ll get the chance to learn things you might otherwise not have experienced in a university or college environment.
The best part? You’ll be earning a salary while you gain your qualifications, meaning no huge student loans to pay back at the end of the programme!
