Who we are

We’re here to build a network the UK can count on - one that connects people, places and potential.  At VodafoneThree we’re not just expanding connectivity, we’re reimagining what a connected nation looks like. With £11bn invested in 5G and digital infrastructure, your work will directly power businesses, services and communities across the country. 

We’re creating more than the UK’s best network. We’re helping close the digital divide, empower communities and drive meaningful progress - today. 

Welcome to a place where you’re connected 

At VodafoneThree, you won’t just start an apprenticeship, you’ll start shaping a future. From your very first day, you’ll be welcomed into a community that knows the value you bring, supported by experienced mentors who guide, encourage and challenge you. You’ll work on meaningful projects that help build the UK best network, all while developing your confidence, capability and skills.  

Whatever path you’re stepping from - sixth form, college or a career change - this is where you take your next step with purpose. Here, you’ll find an environment built on collaboration, shared experience and teams who always have your back. This is a place where people know you, where your contribution matters and where you become part of something bigger. 

What you’ll do

You'll join our Pre-Sales team who form a key part of the sales journey, helping turn customer needs into real, deliverable solutions. They support sales teams by shaping technical and service designs, preparing accurate quotes, and ensuring every idea we propose is something VodafoneThree can deliver with confidence. 

As a Pre-Sales apprentice, you will work with teams across VodafoneThree, including Sales, Project Management, Delivery, Service and Commercial Management, to design fit‑for‑purpose solutions that our teams can deliver and that our customers can rely on.

You will:

• Help business customers understand which VodafoneThree services best meet their needs, using various internal tools to create clear, accurate quotes for them. 
• Get hands-on with pricing tools and Microsoft Excel to analyse customer data and provide accurate pricing information. 
• For more complex deals, you’ll work with one of our expert Solution Owners to deliver a specialised work package, taking a standard Vodafone service and shaping it into a tailored solution for the customer. 
• Learn about the different products and services we offer, including exciting technologies ranging from Mobility, Internet of Things (IoT), Fixed Network Connectivity, Unified Communications, Security and Cloud based services. 

Alongside your day-to-day role, you’ll study toward a Level 3 IT Technical Sales apprenticeship, delivered by one of our trusted training partners. 

Worried that you don’t meet all the desired criteria exactly?  

We know that everyone is unique, with multiple aspects to their identity and different experiences behind them. We are passionate about Inclusion for All and creating a workplace where everyone can thrive, whatever their personal or professional background. If you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align exactly with every part of the job description, we encourage you to apply as you may be the right candidate for this role or another role, and our recruitment team can help you see how your skills fit in. 

*Hybrid based 
 

We believe that through collaboration and connection with our colleagues we can achieve great things. Our hybrid working approach allows our people to work both in the office and at home, providing the flexibility and resources you need to succeed in your role. We ask people to come into the office 2-3 days each week, for at least 8 days per month, though some roles may require more on‑site presence. You should work with your line manager to understand what their expectations are for you, your specific role and your team. 

What we offer 

We care about our people’s success by offering great pay, bonuses, up to 28 days off plus bank holidays, and paid time for charity work. You can personalise our benefits for you and your family, like discounts, vouchers, a pension plan and loads more. We help with your career through our amazing learning tools and top-notch parental leave policies.

Application process 

At VodafoneThree, we believe in creating a hiring process that empowers everyone to be at their best. 

This involves the following steps: 

1. Eligibility questions 
2. Online assessment – includes a video interview, an image-based personality questionnaire and a logical reasoning assessment 
3. Assessment centre or interview 

Applications close on the 27th of March 2026, however, we may close early if we’ve received some game changing applications – so make sure you apply early!

We are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and all offers of employment for this role are subject to background checks, including criminal (DBS) and financial checks to meet the regulators standards.

We use AI in different parts of our business to boost innovation, improve efficiency, and create new opportunities. We know many candidates use AI to fine-tune their CVs or prepare for interviews, but what we really care about is your unique experiences and achievements.  

During the interview, we want you to rely on your own knowledge and skills to show us who you really are - your personality, creativity, and abilities. Above all, we’re looking for authenticity and can’t wait to get to know the real you.
