Apprenticeships
We are passionate and proud of the Rossendale Leisure Trust apprenticeships available. Over the past few years, we have been building an apprenticeship programme that covers many roles across our business and has the apprentice at the heart of the programme.
We partner with FLM Training, THEMIS, Eden Training, ASA and Project digital to deliver professional qualifications to all our apprentices, they also gain work placed experience as they become part of the team at Rossendale Leisure Trust.
About Rossendale Leisure Trust Apprenticeships
We are keen to support talented, passionate and committed people at Rossendale Leisure Trust. We understand there are many different types of Rossendale Leisure Trust apprenticeships available, too many for us to list here. We also have many different departments within our business that are not just leisure related, this could be finance, marketing, business, sports, and many more, with this in mind we would be keen to hear from people that have an area they want to progress their career in that we may be able to help and support.
As an apprentice at Rossendale Leisure Trust, you will be assigned a supervisor to help, support and guide you through your training.
We host training days for the apprentice’s throughout the year, were the senior managers and apprentices get together for a team building and development day. These are important for us to learn and gain knowledge about our apprenticeship programme and support the apprentices as they move through their Rossendale Leisure Trust apprenticeships.
We understand that this may be the beginning of a career for some individuals, it may be the first experience they have of working for a large organisation and the start of working life straight after leaving school.
With this in mind, we have designed an apprenticeship programme that will support encourage and help individuals grow into their potential with us as a business. They will gain hands-on experience working in our facilities across Rossendale and they will be involved in all aspects of what we do, from working on our Grip and Go walls, marketing projects such as The Hill – Home of Ski Rossendale to shadowing our CEO at his business meetings for the day, we have a plan to enrich our apprentice’s experience of what work can and should be about.

What Do Apprentices Get?
As part of the apprentice programme, our apprentices get qualified in their chosen career and opportunities that the leisure trust can provide, here’s a small list:
- Industry recognised qualification in their chosen area
- A range of secondary qualifications including, lifeguarding, fitness instructing, first aid, Google Garage and may more
- A mentor to help, support and guide them
- A chance to rotate around the business to experience all aspects of a workforce
- Free gym membership
- Opportunity to interview for a position within the trust as standard if a position is applicable
We feel this is a great opportunity for people to learn a professional qualification and gain valuable work experience to help them further their career, either with the leisure trust or with a different employer in any industry, the professional skills and life skills learnt through the programme are invaluable.
