Congratulations to our apprentices

This week, as part of National Apprenticeship Week, we held a celebration event to recognise the achievements of our apprentices, and other learners, who completed their qualifications in the last year. It was a fantastic opportunity for colleagues to come together and have their achievements recognised.

The hosts were Kaye Challinor, Assistant Director of Assets, and Scott Armitage, Assistant Director of Property Services, who both spoke about their own experiences as apprentices and congratulated everyone for their achievements.

We were also pleased to welcome representatives from Access Training, which NCHA co‑owns and relies on as a trusted training provider. Their strong understanding of the housing sector means our learners receive high‑quality, relevant training, and many of our apprentices have gained their qualifications with their expert support.

Congratulations to 13 colleagues

A total of 13 NCHA colleagues completed a qualification in 2025, in a range of subjects including adult care work, housing and property management, coaching and property maintenance operative.

Everyone present who’d completed an apprenticeship received a certificate as a token of our congratulations, and a cake was shared to mark the occasion.

At NCHA we have a strong track record for providing apprenticeships on a range of topics. Our apprenticeships can be offered both as new vacancies to colleagues joining the business, and existing colleagues who want to develop their knowledge.

We're currently advertising for new Multi-Trade Apprentices to join our Property Services team this spring. This is an exciting opportunity to learn a range of trades skills both in college and on the job, while getting paid at the same time. Find out more on our job vacancies page.
