Your journey at Athona

How your career at Athona could develop

Apprenticeships and entry level

In recent years we’ve employed over 50 apprentices and had countless entry level opportunities across the business, and it’s showing no signs of slowing.

Working in partnership with The LightBulb, a training provider, we have apprenticeships available to suit all needs and have successfully helped apprentices achieve qualifications in business administration, customer service, recruitment resourcing and digital marketing.

As an apprentice with us, the practical work experience you will gain alongside your formal qualification has been proven to be invaluable. Better still, many apprentices have gone on to become full members of our team. Plus, did you know our apprentices can also access an additional bonus with the NUS Apprentice extra discount card?

For our entry level jobs we often require little to no previous experience – we’re simply looking for you to have the drive and passion to succeed. Our tried and tested career development paths will provide you with the skills and knowledge to progress.
