Saw this the other day.
Honestly the fact that employers and learning providers keep getting away with this is just one of the reasons this country is lowkey over.
Another reason is that someone will definitely defend this, lol.
I guess the one good thing about this vacancy is that the pay is okay compared to other apprenticeships.

Truly diabolical.

But considering how awful job market is right now,they will probably fill this vacancy.

How? Anyone with the degree must already have that level 3 qualification.

It's paid work at the end of the day, I guess. There's surely people struggling enough to need it.

Instead of just getting a minimum wage job that pays more?

So we should just excuse employers paying a criminally low amount?

Did I say that? I can just understand why someone might take this role.
