Work for us

 
Aptem was created to produce innovative technology products that support the delivery of complex, regulated skills and employability programmes.
 
We have a simple mission – to develop technology that helps people find rewarding work and enables them to equip themselves with the skills they need to progress.
 

We are the sum of our constituent parts

Our team is made up of experts, some of whom have deep industry knowledge, others who are experts in their business function. Importantly we share a set of values and behaviours that make Aptem an exciting, forward-thinking and innovative place to work (oh and our head office is in Camden, which we think supports the above points).
