Overview

Our client is a purpose-led professional organisation that helps people develop careers in accounting, finance and related fields.

They are seeking a motivated Business Administration Apprentice to support a varied portfolio covering customer services, partnerships, product development and innovation.

• Identify opportunities to improve administrative processes and ways of working as your knowledge and confidence develop.
• Handle sensitive information professionally and confidentially.

Requirements

• Organised, dependable and able to manage tasks and deadlines effectively.

• 25 days’ annual leave, increasing by one day for each completed year of service up to a maximum of 30 days, plus bank holidays.
• Life assurance and critical illness cover.
• Enhanced maternity and shared parental leave contributions of up to six months’ full pay, subject to length of service.
• Regular employee wellbeing initiatives.
• A supportive, inclusive and collaborative working environment.
