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

This is a Business Administration Apprentice role for someone who wants to learn how a technology business actually runs behind the scenes.

It isn’t a technical IT role, and it isn’t just basic admin. It’s a role for someone who enjoys keeping things organised, joined up and running smoothly, and who is curious about how different parts of a business work together.

You will work across:

  • Suppliers and vendors
  • Finance and billing
  • Internal technical teams
  • Client coordination

Over time, you will learn how equipment, software, licences, orders and renewals flow through the business, from initial quote through to delivery and ongoing support.

If you enjoy:

  • Having structure without things feeling repetitive
  • Learning new systems and processes
  • Taking responsibility and building trust
  • Understanding why things are done, not just how

Then this could be a great first step in your career.

With training and support, you will gradually learn how to help with:

Procurement & Commercial Support

  • Preparing quotes for hardware and software
  • Ordering laptops, licences and services from suppliers
  • Coordinating deliveries, collections and recycling
  • Tracking renewals such as licences, domains and warranties
  • Working with finance to ensure approvals and accuracy

Client & Internal Coordination

  • Acting as a link between clients, suppliers, finance and technical teams
  • Making sure information is shared clearly and at the right time
  • Logging and tracking work accurately in systems like Jira
  • Preparing data so others can do their jobs effectively

Supporting with project management

  • Systems & Tools
  • QuickBooks (quotes and purchase orders)
  • Partner portals (Microsoft, telecoms and other vendors)
  • Jira and Confluence for tracking and documentation
  • Outlook and calendar management

You won’t be expected to:

  • Fix servers
  • Write code
  • Work on a helpdesk

But you will learn enough to understand what’s going on, ask sensible questions and spot issues early.

This role would suit someone who:

  • Wants to build a career in business operations
  • Is curious about how technology businesses work commercially
  • Enjoys being organised and reliable
  • Is comfortable working with systems, details and numbers
  • Likes improving how things are done over time
