Training

The apprentice will primarily take place at our Bawtry location. However, we will consider applicant location and determine if it's best to work more flexibly between our other sites in Newark or Lincoln.

Training by DN Colleges Group will take place on a Tuesday every other week.

After the apprenticeship

At Sharp Physiotherapy, we see apprentices as long-term members of the team rather than short-term employees. We are committed to investing in our apprentices' development, providing ongoing training, support and progression opportunities throughout their journey. This role offers the potential to progress into a permanent full-time position upon successful completion of the apprenticeship, with opportunities to take on increased responsibility as the business continues to grow.

Several apprentices who have previously completed apprenticeships with us remain with the business today in valued full-time roles, demonstrating our commitment to developing and retaining talented people.
