If you are going to take on Leisure team member apprentices from a government-funded program, you will need to sign an apprenticeship agreement with them.

Here we look at what the key points to include in your apprenticeship agreement are as well as the available funding for the Leisure team member apprenticeship.
The apprenticeship agreement is a statutory requirement for the employment of an apprentice in connection with an approved apprenticeship standard. An apprenticeship agreement must be in place when an individual starts a statutory apprenticeship programme and should remain in place throughout the apprenticeship. The end date is when the end-point assessment is due to be completed.
The Leisure team member apprenticeship typically lasts 18 months and the end of qualification assessment is provided by Ofqual.
