We are delighted to welcome to our Central Support finance team three new apprentices.
Owen James Green (18), Gemma Louise Wiseman (34) and Joshua Pilkington-Wilson (20) have joined our finance department to develop their skills while gaining hands-on experience in a sector focused on making a positive difference.
Owen, who previously worked as a workshop labourer, said: “The apprenticeship is an opportunity to climb the career ladder while gaining valuable hands-on experience. I wanted to do something that helps people while learning a skill that can set me up for life. I aspire to take this apprenticeship all the way to Level 7 and become a chartered accountant. Milewood is mint!”
Gemma, who previously worked on Health Assessments for Universal Credit, added: “My apprenticeship in accounts and finance is a great chance to earn and learn at the same time. I wanted to learn on the job as this was a big step in changing my career path. My aspirations are to reach the highest level in my qualifications and progress within Milewood. Milewood rocks!”
Joshua, who has experience in retail and voluntary maths tutoring, said: “I have a passion for accounts and finance and I’m studying AAT Level 2. I aspire to progress through each level and I’m very appreciative of the opportunity Milewood has given me. The support and encouragement have been fantastic.”
Martyn Heginbotham, chief executive, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Owen, Gemma and Joshua to Milewood. Their enthusiasm and ambition are exactly what we look for in future leaders. Apprenticeships are a vital part of how we nurture talent from within and ensure we continue delivering high-quality support. They also highlight the wide range of careers and progression opportunities available across the care sector.”
