Start Your Career with Ealing Council!

Have you considered becoming Ealing Council's next apprentice and following in the footsteps of over 320 apprentices who have come before you? Many have gone on to secure permanent roles and progress into senior positions across the Council.

An apprenticeship is a great way to develop new skills, knowledge and behaviours while gaining practical, on-the-job experience. As an apprentice at Ealing Council, you will receive full support throughout your programme, with the opportunity to progress to the next level upon successful completion*.

Are You Eligible?

To apply, you must meet one of the following criteria:

• You are a resident of the London Borough of Ealing (proof of residency will be required).

• The London Borough of Ealing is your Corporate Parent (Care Leavers).
• You must hold a British or European passport or have Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK.
• You cannot undertake an apprenticeship in the same occupational area if you already hold an equivalent or higher-level apprenticeship in that subject.
• You cannot apply if you have previously completed an apprenticeship with Ealing Council.
• Under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, you must declare any spent or unspent convictions. Some service areas may be unable to consider applications where cautions or convictions have been disclosed; however, many apprenticeship placements can still be considered where declarations are made.

As an apprentice, you will receive:

• A competitive salary
• Generous annual leave entitlement.
• Guaranteed six hours of study time during your working week.
• Ongoing support throughout your apprenticeship programme.

What We Are Looking For:

To successfully secure an apprenticeship with Ealing Council, candidates will need to progress through four competitive stages, followed by pre-employment and reference checks.

The apprenticeship will be a Business Administration Level 3 standard.

Please note:

Whilst applications from candidates meeting the minimum eligibility criteria will be accepted, applicants who already hold a Level 3, Level 4, degree-level or higher qualification may be subject to an additional suitability assessment.
