Why our apprentices would recommend an apprenticeship in local Government
What has been our apprentices biggest achievement to date
What our apprentices enjoy most about their role as a West Suffolk apprentice
If you join us as an apprentice, you will receive the apprentice pay rate for the first year of your employment and then receive the national minimum wage (dependent on age) for the remainder of your apprenticeship. If you are appointed to a permanent post before you have completed your qualification, as many of our apprentices do, we will move you to the appropriate salary for the job and continue to support you to finish your studies. As an apprentice you will be entitled to the same benefits as other employees including generous annual leave and pension scheme.
As you can see many of our past apprentices have moved into permanent roles and are progressing their careers with the council.
We recruit apprentices throughout the year so if you are interested in kick-starting your career in local government, please look out for these opportunities on our vacancies page.
