"My mentor, Ryan has been incredible – I couldn't have asked for a better mentor. He's taken me under his wing and given me encouragement throughout. My colleagues across the organisation are brilliant too, they're always happy to support where they can."

Olivia Deakin, Legal Apprentice who is training to be a Paralegal, said: "I would absolutely recommend an apprenticeship here at Housing Plus Group, it's a fantastic place to work and the support you get is amazing.
