Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
Day-Day Responsibilities:
Project & Programme Support:
- Provide administrative support to Project Manager with the coordination of development programmes.

- Support the preparation of reports for internal review and funders
- Help track outcomes and learning impact against project goals
Communication & Coordination:
- Support communication with artists, facilitators, schools, and partner organisations
- Assist with drafting emails, schedules, and programme materials
- Contribute to team meetings and planning sessions
In the initial stages of the role, an average week would involve getting up to speed with processes at Sirlute. You will ensure we have all relevant documentation for each programme and attend current programmes to see how they are run (our main programmes take place on Saturdays).
As you progress in your role, you may start handling conversations with facilitators of programmes and we would like to see the successful candidate run their own small project first before this evolves into them running a larger one.
