Flexi-Job apprenticeships: the easy way to recruit

Since becoming a flexi-job apprenticeship agency in 2022, Inspire ATA has been on the cutting edge of apprenticeship recruitment. While flexi-job apprenticeships have been around for some time, they remain a misunderstood concept for some, and their benefits are often overlooked by recruiters.

In this article, Inspire ATA will breakdown flexi-job apprenticeships and why they are so beneficial in the recruitment world.

What are flexi-job apprenticeships?

Through a flexi-job apprenticeship model an apprenticeship agency such as Inspire ATA acts as the employer of the apprentice, and a separate organisation hosts them on placement. This approach allows organisations to grow their teams with minimal risk, reduced admin and without impacting headcount or budget.

Benefits of flexi-job apprenticeships 

Flexi-job apprenticeships have a range of benefits for organisations, including but not limited to:

Shorter durations 

Unlike traditional apprenticeships where organisations must hire an apprentice for the full duration of their programme, Flexi-job apprenticeships allow organisations to take on an apprentice for the full programme or a shorter durations (minimum 3 months) to meet their unique needs.

No impact on budget or headcount 

By hosting an apprentice off-payroll, there is no impact on the organisation’s permanent headcount.

Less paperwork

Inspire ATA manages all the admin and related compliance regarding employment contracts and enrolling the apprentice with a training provider.
