Campervan converter, Jerba Campervans, employs apprentice
Scottish campervan converter, Jerba Campervans, has recruited an apprentice, who is set to benefit in the company’s employee ownership scheme at the end of his training.
Nineteen-year-old Rob Henderson joined this Scottish campervan company’s team as an apprentice in October, and will be eligible for an equal share in the company (which became 100% employee owned in 2018) in February 2022.
The East Linton teenager studied a HNC in Electrical Engineering at Edinburgh College before applying for the apprenticeship.
“I found the role on Twitter, and handed my CV in person, I felt that way I was able to create a good rapport from the off," said Rob. "The team have got me involved from the get go, and I have been shown the differing aspects of the business, which has given me the opportunity to understand everyone’s roles at Jerba, and enabled me to become more multi-skilled than I would’ve been otherwise, which is a highly employable trait.”
Co-founder of Jerba Campervans, Simon Poole, said: “It is very important that we continue to offer young people the opportunity to learn and develop new skills. It is an ethos that we have followed for many years, and will continue to do for many years to come.
“Rob has settled in brilliantly at Jerba and will no doubt prove to be a valuable team member for us in what we anticipate will be a busy and challenging year.”
