What is the job role?

As part of the digital inclusion team in Customer Services, you will support #CovConnects activity and programme development to support all Coventry residents to have equal opportunities to use digital tools, technology, and services in the right way for them.

#CovConnects is a programme of digital inclusion initiatives and projects, working with partners and communities to improve digital inclusion in Coventry. This is a great opportunity to learn about digital inclusion, gain experience within community and partnership working, alongside programme delivery skills.

Previous apprentice comments on the role:

"Being an Apprentice in #CovConnects was an amazing experience, I was given control over areas I was interested in and because of this, I’ve truly grown and developed myself in ways I never thought possible."

"I’d wholeheartedly recommend an Apprenticeship in #CovConnects to anyone interested in digital technology and supporting others to feel confident in using tech in ways that are meaningful for them. No two days in #CovConnects are the same"

We have an apprentice role available in the Digital Inclusion team and full training will be given:

Typical duties in the apprenticeship will involve: 

· Engage with community partners to support digital inclusion activity city-wide 
· Support the delivery and evaluation of #CovConnects project delivery
· Support delivery and coordination of digital champion training to volunteers and organisations
· Managing team email inboxes and prioritising where appropriate 
· Create and support social media and marketing activity for #CovConnects 
· Basic financial and statistical calculations

Customer Services is one of the largest teams in Coventry City Council, we act as the initial contact point for the organisation whether that is via telephone, email, social media or in person. The council delivers over 40 wide ranging services for the City from Election Services, Council Tax & Benefits, Waste Collections, Highways, Planning, Childrens Social Care, Adult Social Care and Housing to name a few.

Our fast-paced telephone teams deal with thousands of calls and emails a week for all services, we have a Customer Service Centre with around visitors a week approaching us for a wide range of enquiries or seeking help to access services and dedicated support teams who process bookings, timesheets, and general administration work for the whole organisation.

Joining Customer Services is a good introduction to what could be a long-term career with the Council.

This is an excellent opportunity to gain solid transferable skills, experience, and a Business Administration Level 3 qualification as part of Coventry City Council’s Customer Services team. 

The apprentice will be studying towards the Business Administrator Level 3 apprenticeship. Further information about this apprenticeship can be found here:
