Why Choose a Jisc Apprenticeship?
At Jisc, we’re proud to foster a supportive and inclusive environment where every voice is valued. Our September 2026 apprenticeship programme offers a range of exciting opportunities designed to help you grow and thrive in the digital sector. Whether you're just beginning your journey or expanding on existing technical experience, we’ll provide the tools and training to help you succeed. We live by our guiding principles and welcome applicants who share our values and are driven by our mission to improve lives through digital transformation.
Your future team:
Our team operates at the heart of Jisc’s core internet services, ensuring reliable and secure connectivity for universities and colleges across the UK. We manage and deliver critical Domain Name System (DNS) services, including public-facing DNS hosting and resolution, which translate complex computer language into human-readable addresses. Handling over 1 billion DNS queries every week, we provide the essential infrastructure that keeps academic institutions online and connected. As custodians of these foundational services we work closely with teams such as Cyber Threat Intelligence, DDoS Protection, and the Network Operations Centre (NOC) to deliver resilience, scalability, and innovation services - maintaining DNS resolvers, hosting authoritative DNS records, and safeguarding the integrity of internet operations for the education sector.
Internally, we’re known for being a highly skilled, core engineering team with deep technical knowledge. We’re always learning, sharing ideas, and continually improving the systems we run. This is an excellent environment for anyone who enjoys complex technical challenges and wants to make a meaningful impact on national-scale academic infrastructure.

Who we’re looking for:
Some experience in using various operating systems
Ability to plan, prioritise and manage resources within a collaborative team-based environment
