Apprenticeships at Historic England
We value apprenticeships at Historic England. That’s why, in partnership with a number of heritage organisations, we are leading on the development of new apprenticeship routes into the heritage sector.
Why do an apprenticeship at Historic England?
Our apprenticeships offer real work experience with off-the-job training, supported by our approved training providers. Leading to officially recognised qualifications, an apprenticeship at Historic England is a great way to earn while you learn.
You will only ever need the minimum qualifications for the apprenticeship standard you’re applying to – usually GCSE English and Maths (level 4). All we then ask is that you share our enthusiasm for how heritage connects communities.
We offer apprenticeships from level 2 to level 7. You will usually spend 80% of your time learning through your day-to-day role at our offices and 20% of your time attending college. Sometimes, your designated learning coach may visit you at work or online to support you virtually.
Developing you
We’ll give you all the learning and development you need to complete your apprenticeship and gain a recognised qualification. You’ll have a Line Manager and Mentor who'll support you on your journey with us. This could include time to complete off-the-job training, or giving you opportunities to use what you have learnt in your work.
We have a suite of learning for our apprentices and lots of general skills training including:
- time management
- fast effective reading courses
- strength-based development
- transformation needs
While we can’t guarantee a permanent role at the end of your apprenticeship, we do support you to apply for roles within Historic England and will encourage you to look for suitable positions. We will also support you with your ongoing career at the end of your apprenticeship through various employability skills training, regardless of whether you choose to stay with us.
