Technicians at the University of Bristol are vital in supporting the delivery of our excellent teaching and cutting-edge research. There are a wide variety of technical role types - teaching, facilities, stores, workshops, safety and specialist roles.

Our Technical Apprenticeships aim to provide individuals with the training opportunities and work experience to gain a broad range of technical skills. These roles are generally based in laboratories and workshops, for example within Faculties of:

• Science
• Engineering
• Life Sciences
• Health Sciences

Technical Apprentices are employed by departments full time, with around 20% of their time spent in training. Some additional training will be on the job, and depending upon the specific vacancy, some Technical Apprenticeships may involve a day release element for study with a training provider, e.g. a local college.
