This programme has been designed to support people who have had a career break or are trying to transfer their skills in to a new sector or one they used to work in. We know that any gap in work experience or a move away from a sector or skill set makes it very hard to return or join through standard recruitment channels.

The roles in this programme tend to run on a 12 week work placement with a view to securing a permanent role at the end of that period. Although it’s not guaranteed, 96% of our candidates who join the programme go on to secure permanent roles with their host organisation.

As a candidate working with STEM Returners you have access to free CV writing and Interview coaching and if you are successful in securing the role you’ll get access to coaching and mentoring programme to help you thrive in the role.

If you meet the criteria for this role but are unsure if you are eligible for the programme, we encourage you to make an application.

For this position, you must live in one of the following postcodes:

W3, W4, W5, W7, W13, W14, UB1, UB2, UB4, UB5, UB6, HA0, HA1, HA2, HA3, HA5, HA7, HA9 , TW8, TW7, UB3, W12, W6

You may think that a Field Service Engineer sounds technical, and in part, it is – but this role is so much more than that. It’s about connecting people with what matters most.

You’ll be out and about, travelling to different locations and meeting new people every day. If you want to make a real difference, this is it.

No two days are the same. One day, you could be installing cutting-edge broadband in a customer’s home; the next, you’re troubleshooting an issue and helping someone get back online and making their day. You’ll enjoy the freedom of working outside and get to experience real job progression. And the best part? You’ll only be working 4 days out of 7 each week.

No experience? No problem. We’ll fully train and support you every step of the way through a detailed onboarding stage when you join. You’ll also have a dedicated mentor who will join you on the journey to provide you with ongoing guidance.

What You’ll Do

You’ll be the friendly face of our brand, delivering top-notch service while tackling a variety of tasks:

• Install and maintain broadband, TV, and phone services to customers’ homes.
• Quickly resolve technical issues, ensuring customers stay connected to what matters most.
• Provide exceptional service that leaves every customer satisfied and smiling.
• Work independently with the backing of a supportive team, always there to help you deliver your best.
