Job description

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) is recruiting Level 6 Chartered Surveyor Apprentices across the UK. If you enjoy working within a fast paced, challenging environment then this is an excellent opportunity to join our highly skilled and diverse organisation.

We are looking for talented individuals eager to start a surveying career where the Valuation Office Agency will pay for you to complete a BSc (Hons) Real Estate degree apprenticeship and provide you with the training and development you will need to become a Chartered Surveyor with the Royal Institute of Surveyors (RICS).

When you join the Level 6 programme, you will undertake a variety of roles including surveying and valuing properties for either Council Tax or Non-Domestic Rating. We will provide full training and mentoring. An individual training programme will be put in place for you to make sure you get the right mix of work and breadth of experience required to complete your Apprenticeship and become a Chartered Valuation Surveyor.

Off-the-job training will be provided by the University College of Estate Management (UCEM). On completion you will achieve a Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) accredited BSc (Hons) in Real Estate Management. Rather than attending formal lectures or classes, you’ll study using UCEM’s state-of-the-art online learning environment and digital library, supported with guidance from highly experienced tutors.
