    At Tiro we're obsessed with changing lives through science and technology apprenticeships so we can't wait to have you on board. Over 21 months, you'll devote a minimum of 6 hours of your working week on 'off the job' training. This can include theory training (for example, virtual lessons & online learning), alongside practical training (for example shadowing, mentoring, & time spent writing assignments. Together this will count towards a Level 3 Laboratory Technician apprenticeship. You'll be trained by an expert tutor from Tiro as well as an experienced mentor at STAGS, who together, will make sure you develop the knowledge, skills, and work habits you'll need to succeed in your career. Being an apprentice is hands-on, so you'll get the chance to learn things you might otherwise not have experienced in a university or college environment. The best part? You'll be earning a salary while you gain your qualifications, meaning no huge student loans to pay back at the end of the programme

    Requirements

    Qualifications
    It's about enthusiasm, not school results. In our experience the most successful apprentices are those who have drive to find out more about the sector, can be up front about what they do and don't already know, are considerate, self-reflective, and impatient to learn the job role Experience Whilst previous experience is great, we at Tiro are always open to wildcards. We're not just interested in experience and qualifications; we're looking for someone with the right attitude and aptitude to fit right in at STAGS. Skills & Characteristics To succeed in this apprenticeship, you'll need bags of enthusiasm, be a fantastic collaborator and be hungry to learn

    Even if this doesn't sound quite like you, but you still think you could do a great job in the role, get in touch. We're always open to wildcards.

    Eligibility There are some minimum requirements you'll need to meet in order to do an apprenticeship, these are rules set by the UK Government. For this apprenticeship, you'll need to be 18 or over, not in full time education, have lived in the UK for 3 years and have the right to work in the UK. If you don't quite meet these minimum requirements yet, let us know you're interested here and we'll get in touch to discuss this further with you.

    We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Vacancies are subject to an Enhanced DBS check and references. We're Tiro (pronounced 'Tea-ro' as in white, two sugars).
    In Latin, it means novice, recruit, apprentice, beginner and soldier. The perfect name for a company that's been helping fearless apprentices to join ambitious businesses since 2005.

    We believe that great apprenticeships help everyone. There are remarkable apprentices out there just waiting to be found, and fantastic employment opportunities waiting to be filled.

    Our work will never be just about getting bums on seats and pocketing our commission. In our own small way, we're helping to change the world – finding people that are working on COVID vaccines, finding new ways for technology to help humanity and helping to tackle the big issues of the day, like climate change. As well as helping people – young and old – to find their way.
