Direct Life is looking to take on three new apprentices to start work in July following the success of its apprenticeship programme.
The life insurer based in Chichester has already taken on ten young apprentices.
Two recent apprentices, Lottie Jefferies and Becky Macey, are now life insurance administrators.
Former apprentice Jack Stannard has been promoted to a senior administrator. Luke Hill, another Direct Life apprentice, has been promoted to join the finance team as a finance assistant.
Apprentices are initially contracted for a year with Direct Life, and they are able to complete a Customer Service NVQ Level 2.
All apprentices have the opportunity, when a vacancy arises, to apply for a permanent jobtowards the end of their year. Out of the ten apprentices taken on by Direct Life, eight are still employed with them.
Direct Life's Apprenticeship programme runs in tandem with the company's current plans to expand to meet the demands of new business volumes.
The firm, which currently employs over 130 staff, has recently taken on 35 full- and part-time staff in their administration, express underwritng and IT development Team.
Rob Quayle, managing director of Direct Life (pictured) said: "We are currently looking to take on three new apprentices from the local area. Ideally, they will be bright, enthusiastic and happy individuals who are willing to go the extra mile.
"In return, we give excellent training in a fully supportive and friendly environment, and at the end of the apprenticeship, a job offer if there are vacancies. We believe in looking after our staff, and offering young people an opportunity to excel and a focus is extremely important."
