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
Your time will be divided between attending classes on relevant subjects and practical experience in the workplace which will include:
- Assisting with general administration
- Checking and using standard templates such as NDAs and other basic contracts
- Preparing variation agreements
- Collecting electronic signatures
- Updating and maintaining contract databases
- As you progress, you will also have the opportunity to be involved in reviewing more complex template agreements, assist with contract management for larger projects, and participate in policy review
We are looking for someone who is keen to learn, has good attention to details, and, due to the nature of the role, who can recognise the importance of confidentiality and data protection requirements as they will be handling potentially confidential or sensitive data from time to time.
You will also need good communication skills and the ability to manage your time and workload.
