Business Administration Apprentice
We’re looking for someone bright, curious and up for learning to join our team at Signature Career Management as a Business Administration Apprentice. You’ll work towards your qualification through Macclesfield College, while getting proper, hands-on experience inside a growing recruitment business.
What will you actually be doing?
The Business Administrator role is pretty broad, and that’s deliberate. Your main job will be helping our Recruitment Consultants do what they do best, while learning how a recruitment business works from the inside out. And if you read some of the list below and think, “I have absolutely no idea how to do that”, good. Nobody does until they’re taught. We’ll train you.
Recruitment support:
- Answering the phone and fielding calls
- Actioning bounce-back emails
- Using our CRM system to input coding, information and data
- Uploading candidate applications to our CRM
- Formatting candidate CVs
- Adding meeting notes to our CRM
- Uploading job adverts to third-party websites
- Using resources such as LinkedIn to identify hiring managers and HR professionals
- Searching job boards to spot businesses that are recruiting and sharing opportunities with our recruitment team
- Completing initial Candidate Registration calls, gathering information and passing it to the appropriate Recruitment Consultant
- Helping the team put together client proposals and assignment updates
- Keeping an eye on FMCG industry news and sharing anything interesting with the team
- Getting involved in ad-hoc business projects, including keeping information up to date, system management and business growth projects
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Marketing support
- Take ownership of and manage our company Instagram and TikTok accounts
- Creating company presentations to support our Directors
- Keeping our internal communications screens, YoDeck, updated
- Helping plan team events
- Getting involved in ad-hoc marketing projects with our Workplace Manager
So yes, you could be updating the CRM in the morning and helping plan a summer party in the afternoon. We did say it was varied.
Apprenticeships include time away from working for specialist training. You’ll study to gain professional knowledge and skills.
GCSE in:
- English (grade 4/C+)
- Maths (grade 4/C+)
Share if you have other relevant qualifications and industry experience. The apprenticeship can be adjusted to reflect what you already know.
Welcome to Signature
So, who are we?
We’re a recruitment company. But probably not the kind you’re imagining. We specialise in FMCG, which stands for Fast Moving Consumer Goods. Basically, all the brands and products you see, eat, drink and use every day.
We help those businesses find brilliant people for roles across sales, marketing and other commercial functions, from junior management right through to board level.
Our vision is simple: to change the way you feel about recruitment. Recruitment sometimes gets a bad reputation for being transactional, salesy and all about the numbers. We want to do things differently. We care about the people we work with, the relationships we build and doing a genuinely good job.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We’re a small, ambitious team with big plans, which means you won’t disappear into the background here. You’ll know everyone, work with everyone and have plenty of opportunities to get involved.
Our values matter to us
They’re not words we stuck on a wall five years ago and forgot about. They genuinely influence how we work and who we hire.
- Ownership - Taking individual responsibility for our actions.
- Integrity - Doing what we say we’re going to do and building trust with the people around us.
- Relationship-led - Thinking beyond the immediate win and making decisions based on the long-term relationship.
- Kaizen - A fancy word for continuous improvement. Keep learning, keep developing and aim to be a little better than you were yesterday.
- Team Spirit - No lone wolves. We help each other, motivate each other and celebrate the wins together.
Your earnings can increase over time with an apprenticeship
We want to develop someone who could build their career with Signature. Our aim is to progress our apprentices into recruitment roles once they’ve completed their studies, and there may also be opportunities to move into areas such as marketing as the business grows. We can’t guarantee a particular role at the end, but we can guarantee that we’ll give you plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and discover what you’re good at.
If you’re ambitious, we like that.
