Successful applicants will work alongside police officers and staff in a range of specialist policing support teams.
You will be working from day one but will also be receiving training to complete a Level 3 qualification. Wherever you are based you will be required to work to high standards and under pressure, whilst treating people with respect and compassion. As you would expect, the highest standard of honesty and integrity is a requirement for this role. The apprenticeship will involve significant use of IT and excellent communication skills - face to face, telephone and in writing.

To be eligible to apply, you are required to hold a GCSE English or Maths qualification at Grade 4/C or above, or equivalent.
The start date will be in May 2024 and the apprenticeship will be for a period of up to 15 months, with the opportunity to apply for internal vacancies within the last 6 months on programme.
Training will be delivered at Sedgley Park Training Centre, Sedgley Park Road, Prestwich, M25 0JT, where you will be required to attend. You will study for an advanced (Level 3) apprenticeship in Business Administration.
An attractive and competitive salary is provided: £14,832 per annum, rising to £17,565 per annum (subject to satisfactory attendance, performance and qualification progress). After 12 months service, you will progress to the National Living Wage Foundation rate, currently £22,683 per annum. Working hours will be 36.25 per week, Monday to Friday.
