A Platform for Starting Your Career
An apprenticeship at Platform is a practical, supportive and inspiring way to begin your career.
As a leading social housing provider, we’re here to create safe, thriving communities — and we know that starts with developing talented people who want to make a real difference.
You’ll earn, learn and develop skills while contributing to work that supports people and communities every day. Our apprenticeships bring together paid work, recognised qualifications and on‑the‑job learning. From day one, apprentices are treated as valued colleagues. You’ll have clear expectations, structured support, and opportunities to grow your confidence, skills and experience over time.
Housing is a varied and resilient sector, offering long‑term careers for people from all backgrounds. You don’t need to know exactly where you’re heading yet — what matters is your curiosity, your work ethic, and your commitment to helping people and communities thrive.
All our apprentices are paid in line with the Real Living Wage and can join our generous pension scheme. Many go on to secure permanent roles across the organisation and continue their development.
Alongside apprenticeships, we also create early career pathways through try‑a‑trade days, work experience, and engagement with schools and colleges across the regions we serve. These programmes help young people, parents and educators understand the wide range of careers available in housing — and the routes into them.
