As our Social Value Apprentice you will support the Social Value Manager in helping the Council to embed social value in line with The Public Services (Social Value) Act (2012), Equality Act 2010, Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Policy Note 002 too.

Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.

You will be responsible for the facilitation of social value activity, working with multiple groups and Council departments to make sure social impact happens for the right people in the right way. You’ll also then lead Halton Borough Council’s social value data capture across investment lifecycles.

This is where, with support, you will collect, record and monitor all social value information relating to provisional social value aims/targets associated with council procurement and planning projects.

Apprenticeships include time away from working for specialist training. You’ll study to gain professional knowledge and skills.

Requirements

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
