Beyond Housing welcomes new cohort of apprentices
Beyond Housing has expanded its apprenticeship programme with the recruitment of 14 new apprentices, taking up roles across Redcar and Cleveland and Scarborough.
The organisation’s structured programme offers paid training that leads to professional qualifications, combining one day per week at college with hands-on workplace experience.
Beyond Housing actively encourages applications from residents and customers of its employability services, pledging that at least half of all apprenticeship opportunities go to these groups.
This year’s Scarborough cohort includes business administrator apprentices in customer service and ICT and asset and sustainability, alongside a digital support technician apprentice and an apprentice housing and property management assistant.
The programme has grown steadily over recent years, with 33 apprentices welcomed in the past two years.
Since 2019, 85% of participants have stayed with the organisation.
In February 2025, 10 apprentices graduated; seven secured full-time jobs while others progressed to career-grade positions or advanced to higher-level apprenticeships. All have remained within Beyond Housing.
Maria Taylor, apprentice and volunteer team leader at Beyond Housing, said: “It is great that we can offer such a variety of roles, some of which are new apprenticeship standards for us and at higher levels. I am excited to support all the new apprentices joining us and I’m looking forward to being part of their apprenticeship journey.”
