Do you want to work for an organisation that values difference and includes everyone?

Then the Environment Agency (EA) is the organisation for you!

We are fully committed to being an inclusive employer and ensuring equal opportunities for everyone.

Our mission is to create a better place for people and wildlife and to protect the environment for current and future generations. If you are equally passionate about protecting our environment but also want a rewarding career, then a business apprenticeship with us could provide the opportunity you are seeking. Irrespective of whether you are looking for that first career move or want to change career direction, this role will provide you with the knowledge, skills and experience necessary to work effectively as a business administrator.

In this role you will:

• provide general administrative support for the team, our leadership teams, project teams and key meetings
• manage diaries, mailboxes and set up meetings as required
• prepare communication materials
• take notes and track actions for groups and committees

In parallel, we’ll support you through a Level 3, Business Administrator Apprenticeship which is the academic equivalent of two ‘A’ levels. Training is provided through online learning, and remotely delivered one-to-one coaching support.

The Operations Regulation Monitoring and Customer (Ops RMC) team deliver high quality national once activities. Our department of 2,000 people play a lead role in creating a better place for people and wildlife and ensuring that our environment is left in a better state than we found it. Our team is formed of 6 business units, these apprenticeships will be based across 3 of them.

Background and experience are not as important as your energy, enthusiasm, and commitment, as the apprenticeship will provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to be fully competent in this role. However, you must be able to manage your time effectively, as you’ll need to balance your formal apprenticeship training with your day-to-day duties. (Full details of the apprenticeship training are included in the Candidate Pack).

You'll be a good communicator, and open to working with people at all levels of the business. Being able to listen, learn and apply the learning you gain from the apprenticeship will be essential.

This is a permanent role, but your apprenticeship will be completed within 18 months.

As an organisation we strive to reflect the communities we serve and continue to develop diversity throughout our workforce. We welcome applications from all backgrounds regardless of race, sexual orientation or religion.
