Apprentice Clerical Assistant – (Intermediate, Level 2)

37 hours per week, 39 weeks per year

Barton Hill Academy, based in Torquay, Devon, opened September 2012 and is sponsored by Academies Enterprise Trust (AET).  The Academy currently has 630 pupils on roll aged 3-11.  We aim for every child to have a happy and active primary education in an environment that is caring and supporting. We aim to provide a stimulating and structured environment in which every child will be encouraged to reach their full potential.

We are looking to appoint an Apprentice Clerical Assistant to join our team and contribute to the efficiency and effectiveness of the school office as well as providing reception cover as and when required.  This is an excellent opportunity for someone to learn about office processes, and quality customer service, all within a primary school environment. 

You will complete a Level 2 BTEC Certificate in Business Administration.  You may also be required to complete Literacy, Numeracy and IT Functional Skills (this will be determined by existing qualifications).  Your Trainer/Assessor will assess you in the workplace every 4 weeks. In between these meetings you will have dedicated time away from your job to work on the apprenticeship and collate evidence for your apprenticeship e-portfolio with ongoing support from your Manager and Trainer/Assessor.

This is an exciting opportunity to be in a real job, with real variety, from day one whilst working towards a qualification.

To be eligible for the Apprenticeship, applicants must have resided in the UK or EEA for 3 years prior to the start of the Apprenticeship and must not hold a level 3 (or equivalent) qualification or above. Please note: applicants must not be a graduate or have already completed a Level 2 Business Administration apprenticeship.

This will be a fixed term position and the duration of the apprenticeship will be determined by the job role and current skills. 

Please note: AET has their own in house apprenticeship scheme and do not work with any other training providers to deliver Apprenticeships.

As the sponsor, AET believes that all young people deserve to become world-class learners – to learn, enjoy, succeed and thrive in a first rate educational environment with the best facilities, the best teaching and the most up-to-date resources available to them.  In each of our academies, you will benefit from visionary, inspirational and dynamic leadership and be empowered to develop your own skills with access to world-class CPD and Talent Management programmes.  You will also be entitled to the following benefits: a health cash plan, vehicle affinity scheme, childcare vouchers and Westfield rewards.

This position is required to commence ASAP. Interviews will be held as soon as possible after the closing date.
