Are you organised, enthusiastic and keen to start your career while making a real difference to your local community? We are looking for a motivated Business Administration Apprentice to join our Travel Planning Team and support the delivery of active and sustainable travel across the county.

This is an excellent opportunity to gain a nationally recognised qualification while developing practical skills in a supportive and positive working environment.

The Role:

The Travel Planning Team plays a key role in helping people make healthier, greener and more sustainable travel choices. Our work supports walking, cycling, public transport and other low-carbon travel options, contributing to improved health, reduced congestion and a better environment for our communities.

As part of the team, you will be directly supporting projects and initiatives that align with these important objectives, helping the Council deliver its commitment to sustainable transport and climate goals.

• Support meetings, events and consultations, including organising agendas and taking notes.
• Maintain records, databases and filing systems and stock to a high standard.
• Communicate promptly and professionally with internal colleagues, external partners and members of the public.
• Help the team track progress against objectives and performance measures.

This is a varied and engaging role that will give you exposure to different areas of the team’s work. You will have the opportunity to learn new systems, processes and ways of working, while developing the core organisational, communication, IT and problem-solving skills needed for a successful career in Business Administration, all within a supportive local authority environment.

We’re keen to hear from applicants who are:

• Organised, reliable and keen to learn.
• Comfortable using IT systems such as Microsoft Office.
• Good communicators with a positive, can-do attitude.
• Interested in sustainability, transport, or making a difference in their community.
