Apprenticeships

Imagine joining an organisation that is proven to help people feel happier and healthier. Picture yourself working somewhere that has a 250-year history and looks after the third-largest heritage estate in the UK. How would you like to work for an organisation that is focussed on both our environment and our people?

An extraordinary team

It takes an extraordinary team with a wide range of skills and a collective purpose to bring our waterways to life – this is where you come in. We are keen to welcome new talent with fresh ideas into the Trust. From more traditional skills such as stonemasonry and engineering to more technical roles in IT and social media, all of the roles our people do are necessary to continue the vitally important work we do.

Future talent

Our future talent programmes help us to preserve essential skills and futureproof our organisation. We pride ourselves on the expertise of our people and are fully committed to supporting our new talent become experts in their field.

If you're looking for an exciting career where no two days are the same and you can help make life better by water for everyone, every day, then the Trust is the place for you.

Lauren's experience

"I was 16 when I joined and had never had a job before. I was straight out of high school, had never been in a predominantly male environment or travelled anywhere. But since joining the Trust, I have worked well with my peers and have been treated no differently. I have travelled on my own and become more independent, and most of all I have enjoyed every second of being in the Trust and cannot wait for many more times to come. So if you're thinking of joining do it, because honestly you will not regret it."
