Central Business Support Apprentice

4 weeks ago

Northampton, United Kingdom West Northamptonshire Council Full time

About the role
At West Northamptonshire Council, we are setting up a brand new Central Business Support team to provide administrative support to services across the organisation. The team will supplement our existing Business Support arrangements and will work across the entire authority from Adult Social Care to Planning, Education, Transport, Corporate Services, Housing and Communities, and Finance and Benefits.

This is a full time fixed-term contract for an initial period of 12 months but we are passionate about retaining and developing our staff, and our Business Support posts are a fantastic way to kick off a career in local government.

We are recruiting to 2 Business Support Apprentice roles with the opportunity to work towards a Level 3 apprenticeship in Business Administration. To support you, you will have time off the job for your studies and your salary will be 70% of the full PA role.

The role is part-flexible which means that you will likely spend the majority of your week working from one of our office locations, with a couple of days spent working from home. The main base will be at One Angel Square in Northampton, but you may on occasion be asked to work alongside teams in our Towcester and Daventry office locations.

What will you be doing?
The role itself will be very varied and you’ll have the opportunity to work with services across the organisation depending upon the demand, and the projects that require support throughout the year. If you like to try new things and are interested in learning more about the different areas of local government, this would be a great fit for you

Some of the things that you could be getting involved with include:

- Assisting with the organisation and planning of major events taking place in West Northants
- Supplementing existing resource in services such as Home to School Transport and School Admissions during our peak periods
- Taking notes from meetings and collating actions/decisions
- Providing support to projects such as the rollout of new hardware or IT equipment
- Helping services by providing administrative support in the form of data input, maintaining databases, scanning documents, bid writing, booking accommodation/transport
- Carrying out administrative tasks such as raising purchase orders and setting up contracts on our corporate systems
- Providing support to the organisation in the event of an emergency by undertaking the role of loggist

About you
We need bright and dedicated individuals, passionate about working towards making a positive difference for their local community. You will be highly organised, capable of managing and prioritising conflicting tasks, and will have a sharp attention to detail.

You will show resilience, teamwork, and the ability to build strong and positive relationships with colleagues at all levels in the authority. You will bring new and innovative ways of working to the table, embrace change and continually evolve, as our new authority evolves.

You may not have experience in an administrative role, or have experience in the public sector, but you will be able to demonstrate your ambition to learn and will be driven by your attitude to deliver an exceptional service. We welcome applicants looking for a new challenge or looking to kickstart their career in local government.

**You will need**:

- A positive, responsive, and adaptable attitude
- Confidence to work independently
- An innovative and creative approach to work
- A team-driven approach to delivery
- A customer-focussed approach
- A willingness to learn new skills and work with different service areas
- Flexibility around where you work as depending on the project assigned, you may be working across our different offices or from home

**Your skills will include**:

- Excellent organisation and time management
- The ability to manage multiple tasks at a time and prioritise your workload
- Top-quality customer service
- Great IT skills and confidence with picking up new systems and software
- Acting sensitively and with integrity around confidential information
