Join NCHA as an Apprentice and you could be part of a dedicated team helping to maintain our homes and create new, energy efficient ones. At NCHA we offer housing and care and support services across the East Midlands, maintaining our residents' homes and helping them to keep warm and safe.

You'll be doing a Property Maintenance Operative Level 2 - a work-based apprenticeship, so you will earn and learn on the job as well as complete your vocational qualification at college. You will be working within different Property Services areas to help you learn, develop and get:
