Get your career off to an unparalleled start.

Are you looking to explore an interesting sector with direct support from a close knit team? Are you keen to secure a qualification that will open doors to even more great opportunities? Then join the Office for Students (OfS) as an Apprentice with our friendly Facilities Management (FM) team.

As an independent regulator for the Higher Education sector in England, the OfS is an interesting place in which to learn and develop your skills.
