The Regeneration and Estates Division within West Lancashire Borough Council are looking to employ two full time Apprentice Economic Development Clerical Assistants.

The successful candidates will support the Division with a wide range of administrative tasks including mail outs and letter writing as well as dealing with members of the public and partners over the telephone as well as in person and will be able to gain a wide range of skills and experience.

The Apprenticeship programme is for 12 months during which time successful candidates will commit to undertaking an NVQ Level 2 and where appropriate Level 3. These are vocational qualifications which are undertaken in the workplace, mainly during work time.

This is a good opportunity for Apprentices to develop and learn, offering the opportunity to gain real hands on working experience during the programme. Employment with the Council is not guaranteed at the end of the apprenticeship.

The apprenticeship framework is fully and/or partially funded by the National Apprenticeship Service. Current funding for the ‘framework/training’ is dependant on qualifications held and is age group related. Therefore, the level of NVQ each candidate would undertake can only be assessed by our Providers on commencement in the role.

Please note; Candidates who already possess a NVQ level 3 or NVQ level 4 qualification may wish to consider other opportunities at www.westlancs.gov.uk/ jobs .

To apply for an apprenticeship you must have lived legally in the UK for the three years immediately preceding the start of the programme. If you do not meet this requirement, please provide full details for verification before your application is submitted.
