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 to day tasks will be varied, ranging from handling calls and responding to client emails about permits, appeals, and new leads, to occasional duties such as providing cover for team members or supporting the Sales Director with administrative tasks when they are out of the office.

This role is based in the office full time, except when required to attend college.

Key Responsibilities include:

• Handling any post or emails that are sent to us
• Handling calls with clients or new sales leads, plus much more
• Assisting with any appeals that come in
• Assisting the sales director with their admin when they are out of the office
• Providing cover for team when required
• Admin support for the sales director as required
• Assisting with permit distribution
• Assisting with the Private Parking Code of Practice to ensure the company is prepaid

This role will suit a good all-round office administrator who is looking to develop their skills and get involved with whatever tasks are required.

There is a new Private Parking Code of Practice so we need to ensure that as a company we are ready for the change and the candidate will need to be able to handle the change quickly and to a high standard.

Who you will be:

• A confident communicator comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
• A hard-working team player with a strong work ethos
• A reliable individual willing to learn quickly and contribute immediately
