Kent Country Parks Business Support Apprentice

Role Responsibility

A Kent County Council apprenticeship will give you the opportunity to earn a salary and gain a qualification, whilst gaining valuable work place skills and experience.

An opportunity has arisen for an Apprentice to join the Kent Country Parks Team within Environment, Planning and Enforcement.

This is a great opportunity to gain an NVQ Level 2 qualification in Business and Administration whilst working for a large, diverse, rapidly changing organisation.

As part of the Country Parks team, you will provide administrative support to meet the business needs of Country Parks, to assist in the smooth running of the service and take a proactive role in the day to day functioning. 

The role is based at Invicta House Maidstone, but during the current circumstances will include remote working from home (laptop will be provided). There will also be the opportunity to visit the country parks.

We are looking for someone who is motivated and keen to learn quickly. If this sounds like you, then we would like to encourage you to apply.

Salary starts at £153.55 per week, with the opportunity to increase based on performance.

Financial support or just a simple bursary to help with travel, clothing and equipment may be available through the Kevin Lynes Apprenticeship Scheme, for those who might otherwise be unable to take up an apprenticeship opportunity.
