At the end of the programme, they will have achieved both a degree and membership of the profession.

In addition to gaining a relevant degree, the apprentice will gain the skills, competencies, and experience required to gain professional membership. These are clearly set out by the RICS and RTPI, and so will form the basis of the placement schedule and training plan.

You will need to be motivated to make a difference and share and be passionate about our vision to effectively drive regeneration and housing delivery to create high-quality homes and thriving places. You’ll be proactive about your own development with the ambition to achieve a professional qualification and to demonstrate leadership competencies.

To be shortlisted for this role, you will be required to have a 2:1 Honours Degree in a relevant discipline – possible examples include built and natural environment subjects, town planning, architecture, property/real estate, housing, regeneration, social sciences, geography, law, politics, economics, and business.

You will be required to have the Right to Work in the UK for the duration of the programme. Homes England do not offer visa sponsorship; therefore, if your visa expires mid-programme, you will need to provide evidence on how you plan to secure another visa without sponsorship from Homes England.
