Overview
“Southampton – a city of opportunity where everyone thrives”. Apprenticeships are an exciting way to develop your career. At Southampton City Council we’re keen to invest in people; apprentices are a valuable part of our workforce and the future of the council.
As an apprentice you’ll be receiving practical and professional training from the start. You will work alongside experienced colleagues who will supervise your development and a dedicated mentor providing support and guidance throughout your training. You will have regular reviews with your manager and tutor to track progress and gain support with activities to help you progress.
An apprenticeship is a real job with real responsibilities and, along with a competitive salary, provides benefits including:
* Paid time off for holidays and a pension scheme
* A career path so you can progress to the next level
* On and off the job training
* The achievement of a nationally recognised qualification while you work
Southampton City Council is committed to paying Foundation Living Wage as a minimum and apprentices should be paid fairly. Your salary as an apprentice will be £24,309 annually and may increase in line with any national rise in Foundation Living Wage.
Although we can’t guarantee a permanent job at the end of your apprenticeship, we will support you to apply for other roles within the council, and help prepare you for a wider job search with support from our Employment Skills team.
