About this employer
Parenta Training is a national training provider specialising in early years education and childcare apprenticeships. We work with nurseries, pre-schools and childcare settings across the UK to recruit, enrol and support apprentices studying towards recognised early years qualifications, helping to build the skilled workforce the sector relies on.
Parenta supports learners and employers from initial enquiry through to successful completion. This includes our Sales team, who work with childcare providers to identify and recruit suitable apprentices, and our Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) team, who guide prospective learners through the enrolment process, ensuring each apprenticeship is the right fit and that all funding and eligibility requirements are met.
Behind the scenes, our success depends on accurate, timely administration — from processing enrolment paperwork to keeping records compliant with funding body requirements. This apprenticeship role would sit alongside our Sales and IAG teams, supporting them with the administrative work that keeps the enrolment process running smoothly. Day-to-day duties would include carrying out admin checks on learner paperwork, chasing outstanding documentation from learners and employers, and providing general administrative support to both teams as needed.
This is a great opportunity for an apprentice to gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced training provider environment, developing skills in administration, communication and organisation while learning how the apprenticeship and early years training sector operates from the inside.
