**About you**





You will be passionate about starting your career in Health and Safety and
excited about the opportunity of becoming an apprentice at the University of
Oxford. You may be starting your career or you may be looking for a career
change.





To complete the level 3 apprenticeship you will need to evidence passes at 9-4
or A*-C in GCSE Maths and English. If you did not achieve these grades, do not
let that put you off from applying as you can study Functional Skills as part
of the apprenticeship giving you the equivalent qualifications needed.



To help check that you have the potential to achieve these, GLP will ask you
to complete a short initial assessment during the application process. There
are also government residency requirements for Apprenticeship funding which
the Training Provider will be able to advise on.

Our apprentices are never on their own, you will benefit from a supportive
environment working in collaboration with the rest of our committed team. You
will also be supported by the central apprenticeship team and you will join
our growing network of apprentices within the university. You will have the
opportunity to become an apprenticeship ambassador for the University and
region.





We will provide you with a welcoming and inclusive workplace, offering support
and development opportunities that will enable you to progress and do your
best work. We recognise diversity as our strength, vital for innovation and
creativity, and we aspire to build a truly diverse community, which values and
respects every individual’s unique contribution.





Over 80% of our apprentices continue with us in the role they have been
trained for after their Apprenticeship and that is just the start of their
career.
