Apprenticeships

As part of our commitment to nurturing the workforce of the future, the Broads Authority runs an apprenticeship scheme.

We run our scheme in partnership with Suffolk New College which aims to train young people in practical environment and conservation skills.

Our apprentices gain a number of new skills, from operating a chainsaw and clearing scrub to using pesticides and getting onto the water with our Construction and Maintenance Team. We have also previously trained Ranger apprentices, giving them experience within our Ranger team to develop skills to manage the Broads waterways.

2026 Apprenticeship Scheme

Applications have now closed for our 2026 Apprenticeship Scheme. We advertised for one Ranger Apprentice Vacancy as well as three Practical Environmental & Conservation Apprentice Vacancies.

Thank you to all of those who expressed interest or applied for the positions. We will be in contact with those who are progressing to the next stage in due course.
