Main Description:
We are offering an exciting opportunity for an individual to secure an office-based career within the fire and security sector. The apprentice will work across all departments within the office and will be supported from day one, with a dedicated mentor assigned from our team. Each day can be different depending on business priorities, but typical duties will include:

• Scheduling jobs for clients

• Reconciliation of equipment
• Orders and purchasing
• Other office work as required

Entry Requirements:
The apprenticeship lasts 12-18 months and requires full commitment. The ideal candidate should live near the M22 and be able to attend the office daily.

Individuals with criminal records are welcome to apply to this role as First City Fire and Security Ltd are keen to give promising candidates a second chance.

Desired Skills/Qualities:

• Good written and verbal communication skills
• Good IT skills – particularly Microsoft Office
• Honest and reliable
• Able to multi-task in a busy office environment

Skills Required:

Training to be Provided:
Business Administration Level 3 Apprenticeship Standard. Skills for Security will deliver the apprenticeship training remotely twice a month. You will be required to complete all training tasks allocated during your dedicated tutor-led meetings on MS Teams and gather any on-the-job evidence needed to supplement your studies. The employer will also train you in any areas of Business Administration relevant to their day-to-day operations. Learning is completed remotely, with any face-to-face requirements resulting in a member of Skills for Security coming to the office rather than the apprentice going to a training centre.

Future Prospects:
Progression within the office, including quotation work, will be on offer for the successful apprentice.
