Junior Scientist Apprenticeship - Teddington, United Kingdom - National Physical Laboratory
Description
About the Role
Put simply, the National Physical Laboratory helps set the standards by which everything is measured – combating global issues such as climate change, curing diseases and developing cutting-edge communications technology. At NPL, our apprentices are making their mark and getting involved in real projects, whilst developing invaluable skills and experience.
As an apprentice, you'll get involved in delivering ground-breaking and impactful engineering, science, and measurement projects right from the very start of your career. You'll be learning from industry experts who will blend practical experience with invaluable guidance and theory.
Junior Science Apprentices will support our Senior Scientists with a range of measurement tasks, laboratory duties and scientific research and will undertake a work-based training programme including off the job training and development. Apprentices will have the opportunity to rotate around the different divisions to gain lab-wide experience.
Junior Science Apprentices employed at NPL study the Level 3 Metrology Technician Apprenticeship over three years.
A wide mix of training is provided for the duration of the apprenticeship, combining the daily tasks in the science groups where the apprentice is based, formal off-the-job training and the opportunity to practise new skills in a real work environment. 30 days per year of training at NPL will form the core of the off-the-job training. It is organised into 6 compulsory blocks per year, each of five days duration in Teddington. Further off-the-job training will then be built into your workplace activities. This could include online learning, or tasks set by NPL tutors for completion in the workplace. Our aim is to help you be confident in the workplace from day one; through additional training you will learn how to communicate effectively, how to manage your time, and how to work as part of a team. We want you to develop your self-awareness and your confidence.
Your day-to-day tasks as an Apprentice Scientist will include:
What we can offer you:
About the process:
You will be able to demonstrate the following skills, behaviours, and qualifications:
We actively recruit citizens of all backgrounds, but the nature of our work in specific departments means that nationality, residency and security requirements can be more tightly defined than others. You will be asked about this throughout the recruitment process.
