Business Administrator Apprentice – Level 3

Location: Newton Aycliffe

Salary: £8.00 per hour

Hours: Monday to Friday

Apprenticeship: Business Administrator Level 3

We are recruiting for a confident and motivated Business Administrator Apprentice to join a busy and fast-paced business based in Newton Aycliffe.

This is not a role where you will be sitting quietly behind a computer all day! A large part of the position involves speaking with customers, candidates and colleagues over the telephone, so we are looking for someone who is confident communicating with people and isn’t afraid to pick up the phone.

You don’t need years of experience, but you do need the right attitude. We are looking for someone who is organised, proactive and able to use their own initiative rather than waiting to be given their next task.

What you’ll be doing

• Answering and making telephone calls
• Speaking confidently and professionally with customers and candidates
• Providing general administrative support
• Responding to emails and enquiries
• Updating internal systems and maintaining accurate records
• Processing documentation and keeping information organised
• Supporting with bookings, schedules and appointments
• Liaising with different departments across the business
• Assisting with day-to-day office duties
• Moving vehicles around the site/business when required
• Developing your knowledge of the business and taking on additional responsibilities as you progress

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Confident speaking to people over the telephone
• Friendly and professional
• A self-starter who is happy to pick up the phone and get on with the job
• Motivated and willing to learn
• Organised with good attention to detail
• Reliable and punctual
• Comfortable working in a busy environment
• Able to communicate well both verbally and in writing
• Confident using computers and learning new systems
• Able to work independently as well as part of a team
• A full UK driving licence is highly beneficial due to the nature of the business, as there may be a requirement to move vehicles when needed.

The apprenticeship

Alongside your role, you will work towards your Level 3 Business Administrator Apprenticeship, developing skills in areas including business administration, communication, stakeholder relationships, IT, planning and organisation, project management and problem solving.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to start their career with a business where they can gain genuine workplace experience, develop their confidence and build a broad range of transferable skills.
