Apprenticeships offer a unique opportunity to upskill and grow our own talent, whether this be through hiring apprentices or recognising a commitment for growth from our existing colleagues.
We offer a variety of apprenticeship opportunities across our Trust for those looking to enhance their skillset and develop careers in education.
Depending on your eligibility and availability, you may be able to complete an apprenticeship in one of the following areas:
You can start an apprenticeship with Red Kite Learning Trust whether you are starting your career, seeking a change or you are looking to develop your skills in a particular area. You can have a previous qualification like a degree and still start an apprenticeship with Red Kite Learning Trust.
“An apprenticeship enables you to achieve qualifications to support continuous learning and career progression. It enables you to continue to work whilst learning and earning qualifications.”

It offers the opportunity to gain a recognised qualification while building practical experience in your chosen industry.
It’s a paid opportunity funded through the apprenticeship levy, so you can work towards the career you want without taking on debt.
If A-levels weren’t your strongest point or university isn’t the path for you, apprenticeships offer flexible entry routes. They often prioritise skills and enthusiasm over grades, opening doors for a wide range of people.
Apprenticeships help address skills gaps by training people with the exact skills needed for evolving roles, so you’ll be well equipped when you qualify. They also provide job security, the flexibility to change career paths, and clear opportunities for professional growth.
“My confidence has significantly improved since the start of my apprenticeship, I’m now able to actively be involved in budget meetings taking control off these and offering my opinions to the schools. My skills have significantly improved since starting with not just the information I was learning on my course but also the valuable information I have been able to acquire on the job with all the different people I work with.”
Patrick Boreham

“My apprenticeship significantly improved both my confidence and skillset. It strengthened my core administrative and organisational abilities and helped me approach tasks more strategically. I became more assured in decision‑making, communicating with colleagues, and managing wider responsibilities. This boost in confidence directly supported my progression from Office Manager to Business Operations Manager.”
