Business Administration Apprentice - Level 3

Do you have a flair for organising and a keen eye for detail? Are you a confident communicator, happy to chat with the public across different platforms? Can you be a keen all-rounder, able to turn your talents to any task?

If so, we might have just the role for you!

Opportunity Sheffield, the Employment & Skills Service within Sheffield City Council, has a rare and exciting chance for a Business and Administration Apprentice to start their career in local government as part of our team.

We’re on the hunt for a bright, ambitious and motivated individual to come and join our busy project support function and learn the ropes within a dynamic Local Authority service area.

You’ll get to discover the broad and varied nature of project work within the vibrant and fast-evolving Employment & Skills Sector, where no two days are ever the same.

Our service plays a vital role in helping people from under-serviced groups and communities get into work, in supporting employees to gain new skills and make the most of their potential, and in helping local employers build strong and productive workforces.

We need a great new hire to help with this work, and in return, we’ll introduce you to our world, and train you to play a hands-on role in supporting  residents, communities and employers across the city.

What the role entails

As part of your apprenticeship, we’ll introduce you to a range of tasks and responsibilities, including:

• supporting project staff with systems, processes, paperwork or data
• communicating with partners, colleagues and members of the public via telephone, email and in-person
• organising meetings, booking rooms, minute-taking and managing invitations
• assisting with the planning and delivery of our events, including jobs fairs, training courses and partner briefings
• helping our Marketing Officer manage our social media channels and produce some eye-catching promotional content for the team
• a wide range of other tasks in support of making the Employment & Skills Service the best it can be

Our Business and Administration Apprenticeship is structured towards you becoming Business Support Officer upon successful completion of an 18-month apprenticeship.

As an Apprentice, you will:

• Receive a great rate of pay whilst you learn.
• Be fully funded to complete a recognised qualification.
• Receive one day off the job per week for study leave (during term time)
• Receive hands-on/practical experience in an experienced team environment.
• Have a great peer support network.
• Have the potential to secure a permanent job within the Council upon successful completion of your Apprenticeship.
