If you’re a quick learner with a resilient, can-do attitude, this is the role for you.

Over the course of 15 months you’ll gain a Customer Service qualification. And if you’re determined to work hard and develop, we’ll make sure you get the support and resources you need to become brilliant at what you do. All while experiencing a vibrant atmosphere, where you’ll be surrounded by a supportive team.

Home Service

Turn Sky customers into lifelong fans. Enjoy the freedom and support you need to make an impact. Provide super reliable broadband for work and play. And deliver cracking customer service every time. If you’re someone who’s resilient, with a can-do attitude and bags of character, this is the role for you.

What you’ll be doing

As a Home Service apprentice, you will have the opportunity to earn while you learn, gain new skills and study for a recognised qualification. Tech experience isn’t essential. We’re more interested in your brilliant listening skills, how well you interact with people and your ability to collaborate and support the Home Service Engineer team. Our programme offers roles across the UK and, no matter where you join, you’ll get seven weeks of both face-to-face and virtual training to learn the skills and knowledge required for the role. And you’ll pick up the ropes from a mentor by shadowing them for six months of your apprenticeship.

Over the next 16 months you’ll get to work in customers’ homes and businesses across the UK. Your job? Installing, servicing and demonstrating our incredible TV and broadband products. Once the technical work is done, you’ll be excited to show customers exactly what it can do.

From travelling to different places to meeting new customers everyday. Your typical week will be varied and full of exciting experiences. And you can expect plenty of support from your team, who’ll help you successfully complete your apprenticeship and develop in your role.

What we look for content

At Sky, we look for people who rise to a challenge and focus on finding a solution, fast. People who are always striving for simpler, smarter, faster and better – whether that’s explaining complicated things clearly and confidently, converting customers into fans, or simply hitting targets and delivering cracking customer service. Flexibility is also important, as most shift patterns will include some evenings and weekends.

As a Contact Centre Apprentice, you’ll need to be a confident communicator and team player who is obsessed with providing strong customer service and likes keeping up with the latest technology trends.. 

As a Home Service Apprentice, you’ll need a thorough approach and strong collaboration and relationship-building skills along with a real desire to learn more about Sky technology, products and shows.You also need to be aged 18+ and hold a full UK annual driving licence (with no more than 6 points).

About your education

In Scotland:

  • You’ll need a minimum of two National qualifications (NQs) level 2 or 3. If your qualifications don’t already include English and Maths, you’ll need to achieve these during your Apprenticeship.

In England:

  • You’ll need a minimum of two GCSEs A* – C (or equivalent grades 9-4). If your GCSEs don’t already include English and Maths, you’ll need to achieve these during your Apprenticeship.

Hints and tips content

CVs aren’t everything. We’re more focused on who you are and the potential you’ll bring to Sky. That’s why we have a unique assessment approach that involves a series of questions and a video round followed by an invite to our virtual assessment centre. Do you require any special adjustments to be made to complete any stage of our process? Just let us know when you register and someone from our team will get in touch to discuss this further.

Digital assessments

As part of the application process, you’ll complete a digital assessment looking at how you respond to various situations. This will tell us if you’re a good fit for our team. The second step is a telephone interview. Ready to go? Here are some hints and tips to get you started:

  • Find somewhere quiet where you won’t get distracted
  • It might help to turn off your phone or keep it on silent
  • Open a new browser window or close any tabs you aren’t currently using
  • If you’re invited to take part in our video assessment, make sure you’re in a tidy, well-lit space with good internet connection. We’ll give you some more instructions to help you get set up
  • We know it might feel a little strange but try and treat the video interview like you would any interview. Dress comfortably, smile and keep focused on the camera
  • And finally, we’re excited to get to know you. Be yourself. Always provide answers that best represent you and what you would do in a given situation.

Assessment centre

For the final stage, we’ll invite you to take part in our virtual assessment centre. You’ll get the opportunity to impress us with your personality and get a feel for what it’s really like to work at Sky.

It’s normal to be nervous but we’re on hand to help you along the way. To prepare, do your research about Sky but don’t worry if you don’t know everything about us. What’s more important is that you demonstrate what excellent customer service looks like. Show us your personality, strong social skills and think about how you might approach different situations with customers. We’re keen to hear more about you.

The day will include an individual interview and individual exercises but don’t worry we’ll give you plenty of notice and let you know how best to prepare for these activities. You’ll need to set aside a couple of hours for this part.

Once you’ve completed your assessment day, we’ll let you know when you can expect to hear back from us.

Good luck!
