Main description
It’s an exciting time to join the Sepura team as we launch our Apprenticeship scheme with roles due to commence in September 2026. As an apprentice at Sepura, you’ll gain invaluable practical experience and training, working side by side with experienced colleagues who will support you as you learn on the job. Throughout your apprenticeship, you’ll have clear objectives to help guide your progress, and you’ll also be studying towards a Level 3 qualification in Business Administration.
For the first 12 to 18 months of your apprenticeship, depending on your placement, you will spend time rotating through a number of key departments across the company (such as Quality, Purchasing, Finance, Customer Support, Marketing, Product Management and Facilities) before finding your niche and where you want to specialise.
Your learning journey won’t stop at hands-on experience. You’ll also benefit from dedicated training on essential skills such as Presentation Skills, Resilience, Effective Communication, and Project Management. To add to this, you’ll have the chance to attend an Outward-Bound course in the beautiful Lake District—a memorable experience that will help you build confidence and strong connections with your peers.
Support is a foundation of the apprenticeship at Sepura. Departmental managers, your team, and your fellow apprentices will all be there to encourage you, and you’ll have access to both social and pastoral support throughout your journey.
Upon successful completion of your apprenticeship you will be offered an appropriate role and there’s even the possibility of support for further studies to help you continue developing your career.
Your role will be varied and depending on which department you are working in you may be learning about, which includes the following:
- The procurement process, which involves everything from meeting with suppliers to processing Purchase Orders
- Health and Safety awareness in an office and workshop environment
- Quality management and internal auditing, helping you understand how we maintain high standards and continuously improve our processes
- The Finance team, learning about accounts payable or credit control
- You'll also learn about the work of Product Management, which will broaden your understanding of how products are developed and managed throughout their lifecycle.
Along the way, you’ll be building professional relationships with both colleagues and clients, which is key to thriving in our environment.
