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:

• 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.
