Kick-start your career in DWP Digital team as an Apprentice Directors Support Managers.

You will earn, learn, and develop essential IT and business administration skills while supporting our senior leaders in a role that offers diverse opportunities for growth and progression.

You'll be part of a team supporting either director's or deputy director's office, so you'll get fast-track exposure to really important work, big decisions and senior people.

The role involves building strong relationships with directors and understanding the functional area you will support. Some of your daily tasks include diary management, inbox handling, and travel arrangements.

How does the apprenticeship work?

You don't need any previous experience. We're looking for people with potential and self-motivation.

You will be part of a team working on real stuff, with support from a dedicated line manager and task manager as well as the team around you.

You'll learn skills and gain valuable experience on the job.

You'll also be given 20% of your time (1 day week) to completing your apprenticeship learning as you work towards a Level 3 qualification in Business Administration.

If you don't already have a GCSE in English (Grade C or above) you will complete a level 2 English and Maths functional skills qualification.

  • Oversee directors' inboxes, diary management, and meeting agendas.
  • Assist in managing priority tasks and handling requests, including urgent and high-level matters like ministerial advice.
  • Organise large team events, draft correspondence, and prepare briefings and reports.

Solve Problems:

  • Anticipate potential issues, liaise with stakeholders, and resolve problems promptly.

Eligibility Criteria:

Residency Requirement: Candidates must have lived in the UK and/or the EU for at least 3 years before the apprenticeship start date.

Apprenticeship Exclusivity: Candidates cannot be undertaking another apprenticeship at the same time as this one.

Qualification Eligibility:

  • Candidates should not have a pre-existing qualification at the same or a higher level in a similar subject as the Level 3 Business Administration apprenticeship.
  • They will need to complete a Level 2 English and Maths qualification if they do not already hold GCSEs in these subjects at grade C (Level 4) or above.

Availability: Candidates must be available to start the apprenticeship in January 2025 and commit to working a minimum of 30 hours per week to ensure they have enough time to complete the program.
