The Role

We figure you have checklists, keep a diary, and you probably turn up to everything 5 minutes early. You are incredibly organised, and we are a little bit jealous. So jealous, in fact, that we decided to do something about it. We want our team to be as organised as you. We want to get things done, like you do.

Our two company directors need your help to do that. You’ll be managing their diaries and ensuring they have their weekly check-ins with the teams they are responsible for, as well as ensuring they don’t have clashes with their client and personal commitments. You’ll oversee their business trips too, booking venues, flights, and accommodation. Sometimes you’ll go along to meetings with them, taking minutes and keeping staff updated on project progress.

If you’re looking to get your foot in the door of a business career, this is the role for you. With such close access to the directors, you’ll quickly learn about what it takes to run a business, keep clients happy, and staff engaged. We support the career development of our staff and apprentices, and this is a great opportunity for you to get a business administration qualification, gain access to a growing business, and start to think about where you want your career to take you.

Our Apprenticeship Scheme

Our Apprenticeship Scheme Our apprenticeship scheme has been in place for 7 years now, and 83% of our apprentices still work here. Our scheme was also a finalist in the Apprenticeship of the Year category at the KEiBA awards. Our priority is to enable our apprentices to establish their career in an area they enjoy. Former apprentices have flown to New York and re-designed our entire website, to name just two achievements. Most our former apprentices are now studying higher qualifications, so the learning doesn't end after your first year. What we are trying to say, is there is a wealth of opportunity to succeed and progress with us for years to come.

Specifically, you’ll spend one day a week at the Maidstone Midkent College campus, gain a L3 qualification in Business Administration as well as functional skills qualifications in English, Maths and ICT.

Location

You will work from our head offices in Borden, a small village south-west of Sittingbourne in Kent. We are near the M2, and based suitably far away from the Sittingbourne rush hour traffic (making your commute easier). We’re also a 20-minute bike ride from Sittingbourne train station if you like to cycle (don’t worry, there is a shower too, so you can feel fresh before you start the day). Snacks, fruit, drinks and various staples are provided in our kitchen. There is an oven and grill if you like cooking fresh lunches, and sometimes staff cook meals for the entire office. In the summer we like to host BBQs too.

To qualify you’ll need a few A levels or equivalent, and it is a bonus they are in business or finance. However, what’s more important is your enthusiasm and commitment to learning. We would love to hear what sparked your interest in an apprenticeship in your cover letter.
