Job Description

Keepmoat Homes is a fast growing top 10 UK housebuilder. We design and build quality homes and create places where people want to live.

Our investment and participation helps transform communities and improves the lives of local people. We have a national presence combined with local knowledge and expertise in all aspects of housing - from finance, design and planning, to developing and building. Our comprehensive skills and capabilities give us a wider perspective across the whole housing lifecycle and we create lower risk ways of building homes people need.

For more than 90 years our work has been absolutely visible to local communities so being part of the community is in our DNA. We hire local suppliers and tradespeople and work with local communities to make sure that our plans meet their needs.

We have a fantastic opportunity for a Bricklaying Apprentice to start their career with us. The Bricklaying Apprentice will commence May 2026 at a Bricklaying Hub in Scotswood, Newcastle for the first five weeks. For the majority of the 18 month apprenticeship, they will be based from our Kingsfield Park (HU7 3NJ) development in Hull. There will also be additional intensive two week blocks of training every 8 10 weeks at the Bricklaying Hub, learning all the skills and knowledge necessary to become a competent Bricklayer utilising a variety of tools and processes.

The Bricklaying Apprentice will work towards completing the Level 2 Apprenticeship standard in Bricklaying. More details about our Bricklaying Apprenticeship scheme can be found here.
