The Management Traineeship Scheme

The ESFA’s Management Traineeship scheme provides the opportunities for those with potential to develop both leadership and role-specific skills in a supportive and developmental environment.

Management trainees will benefit from a range of personalised support including:

· A tailored training package to support their development in both the technicalities of the role and as a leader, for an average of 12 months

· Formal management training (and time for study), leading to a management qualification

· A workplace “buddy”, different to the line manager, where applicable

· An external mentor, where applicable

· Access to key management professionals outside of the specific responsibilities of the role (e.g., finance, PR)

· A starting salary of £24,000, rising to £28,000 upon qualification

· A permanent role on qualification.

Management trainee candidates must:

· Have a first class or upper second class degree

· Provide evidence of some leadership activity and impact

· Have a demonstrable interest in the role offered through the traineeship scheme

* The role is office based with some opportunities for employees to benefit from flexible working. Candidates must therefore be able to commute to the office in Stafford for the majority of the working week.
