We are looking for an apprentice to work in the Electoral Services & Local Land Charges team. Working with colleagues who deal with electoral registration, running elections and processing land searches for people moving house, you will gain all-round skills including customer service, understanding legislations & administrative experience.
As an apprentice, you’ll work at a company and get hands-on experience. You’ll gain new skills and work alongside experienced staff.
You won’t have to work at a polling station giving out ballot papers, but you will be part of the core team who makes sure that our 75,000 electors can vote by visiting a polling station or by post.
You will be working in the council offices within a small team in an administrative role. You would be dealing with customers, our councillors and others teams around the council.
