“Southampton – a city of opportunity where everyone thrives”
Apprenticeships are an exciting way to develop your career. At Southampton City Council we’re keen to invest in people, apprentices are a valuable part of our workforce and the future of the council.
As an apprentice, you’ll be receiving practical and professional training right from the start. Working alongside experienced colleagues who will supervise your development and a dedicated mentor providing support and guidance throughout your training. You will have regular reviews with your manager and tutor so you know how you are doing and can gain support with any activities to help you progress.
An apprenticeship is a real job, with real responsibilities and along with a competitive salary an apprenticeship will provide you with many benefits including;
- Paid time off for holidays and a pension scheme
- A career path so you can progress to the next level
- On and off the job training
- The achievement of a nationally recognised qualification while you work.
You will be working towards the Level 3 Information Communication Technician apprenticeship with Basingstoke ITEC. The duration of this apprenticeship is 18 months with 4 months for the End Point Assessment.
At Southampton City Council we are committed to paying Foundation Living Wage as a minimum and we believe apprentices should also be paid fairly. Your salary as an apprentice will be £25,185 annually and may increase in line with any national rise in Foundation Living Wage.
A permanent position is likely to be available following completion of the apprenticeship and a successful selection process.
