Broadband and mobile provider Virgin Media<\/a> and O2<\/a> (VMO2) has today announced that they’re planning to create more than 100 early UK careers and re-skilling opportunities during 2025, which is about half the intake figure of last year (here<\/a>) and down from the c.350 they pledged to create during 2023 (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The new positions – offered as permanent roles – are being created to cover a variety of different roles for people of “all ages<\/em>“, such as in field engineering (i.e. keeping customers connected by installing and fixing products in homes). The roles, which are all entry-level permanent positions and pay between \u00a322,500 and up to \u00a335,000 (this is the same as last year),\u202fare primarily expected to be available in London, Reading and Manchester.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Applications to become an apprentice can be made here<\/a>. You must be over 16 to apply, but there\u2019s no upper age limit.<\/div>\n

To help ensure a level playing field where people are hired based on their potential, VMO2 does not ask for CVs or require any prior work experience for any of its apprenticeship, graduate or internship roles. The recruitment process focuses solely on candidates\u2019 skills, strengths, and motivations, instead of their education or work history. In addition to creating roles that require no previous experience, VMO2 also offers entry level positions that require no qualifications at all.<\/p>\n

Karen Handley, Head of Future Careers at VMO2, said: \u201cWe believe in unlocking people\u2019s potential and breaking down barriers to working and progressing in this innovative sector. Our apprenticeship programmes provide pathways to meaningful careers at the cutting edge of technology, creating exciting opportunities for everyone. We offer competitive salaries of up to \u00a335,000 and run a blind recruitment process to ensure a level playing field for our candidates. Whether you\u2019re a young person who excels in hands-on learning or a career changer looking to do something new, our apprenticeships give people the tools and skills they need to build a successful and rewarding career<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
