About Prime Disaster Response

Prime Disaster Response is a growing property restoration company working with insurers, loss adjusters and homeowners across London and the South East.

Our technicians help people recover when their properties are affected by water, fire and other forms of damage.

But great technicians aren’t made overnight. That’s why we’ve developed our own training programme, giving people from different backgrounds the opportunity to learn the industry, develop practical skills and build long-term careers.

The Opportunity

You don’t need experience in property restoration. We’ll teach you what you need to know.

Our paid trainee programme combines hands‑on experience, practical training and ongoing support from experienced technicians.

Over approximately two to three years, you’ll learn the skills and knowledge needed to become a qualified, confident restoration technician, working on real projects alongside our team.

We’re looking for people who are willing to learn, take pride in their work and genuinely care about doing a good job.

What We’re Looking For

Previous technical experience isn’t necessary. What matters most to us is your character, attitude and willingness to develop.

  • A full UK driving licence
  • A strong work ethic and a can-do attitude
  • Reliability, honesty and accountability
  • Good communication and people skills
  • A caring, respectful approach to customers
  • Curiosity and a genuine willingness to learn
  • Confidence working independently and as part of a team
  • A commitment to building a long-term career

Applicants must be aged 25 or over.

What You’ll Learn

Through practical training and supervised experience, you’ll develop skills in:

  • Water damage restoration and specialist drying
  • Using professional restoration equipment
  • Moisture measurement and monitoring
  • Property inspections and damage assessments
  • Health and safety procedures
  • Customer communication and reporting
  • Problem-solving on complex restoration projects
Real Training. Real Career Opportunities.

This isn’t a programme we run simply to fill vacancies.

Some of our most experienced and valued technicians started their careers through Prime’s training programme. They’ve gone on to become established professionals, taking on greater responsibilities and building successful careers in the restoration industry.

We invest in people because we’ve seen what happens when the right attitude meets the right training.

As your skills and experience grow, so do your opportunities for progression, responsibility and earning potential.

What We Offer
  • Paid training from day one
  • Hands‑on experience with experienced technicians
  • Professional equipment and practical skills development
  • Ongoing mentoring and support
  • Clear opportunities for career progression
  • A supportive team that values people as much as technical ability
  • The opportunity to build a long-term career in a specialist industry
Join Our Next Intake

Our next trainee intake is on the 5th November 2026.

Whether you’re looking for a career change, a fresh start or an opportunity to learn a skilled trade, we’d like to hear from you.

We can teach the technical skills. We’re looking for the right people.
