English and Maths guidance from the government changed on 11th February 2025. This employer wishes to support upskilling in both English and Maths but understands that some applicants aged 19+ may not have the advertised entry grades. These are desired but not essential for success – applications specifically for candidates aged 19+ who have achieved a grade 3/D will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Applicants aged 16-18 are subject to entry grades of a 4 or above or equivalent as advertised.
