Apprentices & Trainees salaries

Apprentices & Trainees pay in the United Kingdom from official JIB national standard figures, until ElectricalRoles.co.uk has enough job ads with pay to publish its own.

Pay scale midpoint · United Kingdom

£23,100

First year
£15,900
Final year
£27,400

Source: Joint Industry Board (JIB) Industrial Determination 2026-2028, National Standard Rates, from 5 January 2026 (JIB apprentice rates). Minimum pay rates from first year to final year; many employers pay above them. Figures are annual, in GBP. We switch to live job-ad figures once we have five or more apprentices & trainees ads with pay.

Figures are indicative UK gross annual ranges and vary by region (higher in London and the South East), employer type and whether travel/overtime is included. Apprentice pay must meet at least the current apprentice National Minimum Wage; many JIB-registered employers pay above this on a graded scale.
