A WARRINGTON firm is expanding its award-winning apprenticeship programme by hiring 30 more trainees.
The latest intake will work in the accounts and business administration department and will bring the number of apprentices atOptionis, on Centre Park, to 75.
Managing director Derek Kelly said: “We’re looking for bright, ambitious, hard-working individuals who want the chance to earn while they learn and build a career.
“The vast majority of our trainees go on to secure a permanent position when their apprenticeship comes to an end, so there are real progression opportunities.
“We are currently seeking Government approval to establish our own NVQ accreditation for our apprentices, given the quality and depth of training they receive.”
Optionis was recently named as one of the top 100 employers of apprentices in England after being highly commended in the Newcomer Employer of the Year category at the regional finals of the National Apprenticeship Awards.
Warrington South MP David Mowat, Warrington Borough Council leader Terry O’Neill and Steve Park of Warrington & Co have all praised the Optionis apprenticeship scheme.
The group’s apprentices work towards recognised academic qualifications, undergo regular assessments and are expected to contribute to hitting their department’s overall targets.
Beth Monks (pictured), who was named Optionis apprentice of the year last year and has since secured a permanent role in the firm’s human resources department, said: “This is a great place to work.
“Everyone is really friendly, there is a relaxed atmosphere and you feel like part of a team. I would recommend an apprenticeship here to anyone.”
The Optionis Group is home to three companies; Parasol, ClearSky Contractor Accounting and ClearSky
Business which, together, support to tens of thousands of freelancers, contractors, small businesses and recruitment firms every year.
