Ealing Apprenticeship Programme is recruiting enthusiastic and highly motivated people aged 16+ who live, or have studied in an Ealing school within the last three years, to fill apprenticeship vacancies across Ealing Council. You need to apply by 30 September 2018 and we aim to have successful applicants begin their apprenticeships in January 2019 subject to successful pre-employment check clearance.
We are looking for applicants who are interested in working in the public sector by making a difference and meeting the needs of a diverse community. Apprenticeships include training in a range of skills. As an apprentice, you will get to work in one of the council's service areas and be expected to achieve an apprenticeship at level 2 or if stated at level 3 *.
You can put up to three preferences of which areas you are interested in on the application form.
Vacancies are likely to be in the following areas:
The roles will be in business administration within these departments for 12 months at level 2 and at 18 months for the level 3 posts.
Please note that recruitment to these roles are in a number of stages and you will be notified at each stage of your progress.
Who can apply?
Please note the following eligibility criteria apply:
1. be aged 16 years or over and will no longer be in year 11 at school in September 2018
2. hold a British or European passport or have indefinite leave to remain in the UK
3. you may apply with any level of qualifications up to and including A levels, but you CANNOT apply if you have a degree or a level 4 qualification. You cannot undertake an apprenticeship in the same skills area if you already have the equivalent level of qualification. For example, if you have a Level 2 in Business then you cannot apply for a Business Level 2 Apprenticeship. However, you can apply to undertake an apprenticeship in a new skills area
4. applicants will not have already undertaken an apprenticeship with Ealing council
5. under the rehabilitation of offenders' act 1974 you must disclose any spent or unspent convictions (see section 5 of the application form). There are some service areas that will not be able to consider applications where there are spent or unspent cautions or convictions. However, many of these apprenticeship placements can be considered, only if these are declared as part of your application.
Applicants must fulfil one of the following:
a) You are a resident of the London Borough of Ealing (proof of residency will be checked)
b) You currently attend a school in the London Borough of Ealing, or have valid GCSEs obtained at an ealing school (certificates are valid for three years and will be checked)
