Our ICT team plays a key role in supporting the systems, services and communications that keep the organisation running, giving you exposure to a wide range of technologies and real business challenges from day one.
You will be supported throughout your apprenticeship by experienced colleagues who will mentor you as you grow your technical knowledge, confidence and professional skills.

- A genuine interest in IT and technology, with a practical and common-sense approach to problem solving.
- An understanding of the importance of good customer service and helping people effectively.
- A well-organised and methodical way of working.
- Good communication skills, a positive attitude and a willingness to learn as part of a team.
- Any awareness of business systems, customer engagement tools or digital communications would be helpful, but not essential.

In return, you will gain practical experience, professional support and the chance to develop within an organisation that values teamwork, innovation, responsibility, customer focus, adaptability and respect.
