Sharing our values

Many of our apprenticeships have no minimum entry requirements. We’re looking for apprentices who are willing to learn and share our values.

ODS has high standards when it comes to delivering services, so we would need you to be keen to learn, and take personal responsibility, as well as being self-motivated, enthusiastic, and flexible.

In return, we will offer you a generous benefits package and you’ll be welcomed into friendly and supportive teams that will help you put your new-found skills into practice!
