This is an apprentice role, so we don’t expect you to arrive knowing everything. What matters is that you have a genuine interest in software engineering, enjoy solving problems and are motivated to learn. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers who will provide guidance, feedback and opportunities to put your learning into practice.

  • Work collaboratively with engineers and wider delivery teams

  • Build an understanding of secure, accessible and reliable software development

Who we're looking for:

  • You’re at the beginning of your career in technology and have a genuine interest in understanding how software works

  • You enjoy learning and are comfortable asking questions

  • You approach problems logically

  • You’ll be working with different people across Tecknuovo, so you communicate clearly, listen to others and contribute positively to a team

  • Most importantly, you’ll bring curiosity, commitment and a willingness to learn

Entry requirements:

  • The learner must have completed a Level 3 Software Development Apprenticeship with QA or have an equivalent qualification with another training provider

You may also have a combination of qualifications and experience which demonstrate the minimum foundation needed for the programme. In this instance you could still be considered for the programme.

If you hold international equivalents of the above qualifications, at the time of your application you must be able to provide an official document that states how your international qualifications compare to the UK qualifications.
