Job description

Ealing Council apprenticeship service have six exciting opportunities for Ealing residents who are enthusiastic and highly motivated.

We are looking for applicants who are interested in working in the public sector to make a difference by meeting the needs of a diverse community.

Apprenticeships are a great way to learn a range of new skills, knowledge and behaviours while working on the job. As an apprentice, you will get paid to work at Ealing council and will be fully supported to achieve your apprenticeship, with the potential to progress onto the next level or into a new role.

To successfully start an Ealing council apprenticeship, you will have to pass four competitive stages, followed by final background and reference checks.

Stage one is by submitting your CV and supporting statement on time. You will be notified at each stage of your progress, therefore it is important to check your email folders regularly including spam or junk.

CV’s and supporting statements need to be submitted by Sunday 30 June 2024 at 11.59pm. We aim to have successful applicants begin their apprenticeship by August 2024 subject to successful pre-employment check clearance.
