About this company

The company has a family atmosphere and therefore someone who can socialise and has a fun but professional personality is very important. We can teach the candidates about Telecoms, but not impact too much on their individual personality. Happy to teach from scratch if it means that the person we are bringing on board is the right person. We have quarterly staff socials, Director lunches (which you are voted on via your manager), employee benefit scheme, dress down Fridays, Google Review incentives and much more.

After this apprenticeship

You will receive training on the telecoms industry and once confident in certain aspects will undergo technical accreditation training to get a full understanding and qualification of the systems and partners which we work alongside.
Cross communicating between UC Support and Sales where needed to ensure we deliver the customer’s expectations.
The role has the potential of growing into its own role or the chance of progression throughout the sub departments within the Unified Communication department (help desk, project managers etc).
