What does an apprenticeship at Templer Homebuild involve?
Being an Apprentice at Templet Homebuild, gives you the opportunity to be “hands on” and learn on the job, so you’re not just learning about decorating, you ARE decorating!

- Sprucing up gloss work (doors and window frames, skirtings)
- Getting outdoors with external works (railings, sheds, fences and walls)
- Exploring different sites, working both inside and outside in all weather, whether it’s getting hot in the homes, or wrapping up in the winter on a commercial site
