Two careers events are taking place this August to help those looking for an apprenticeship.  

 

Whether you’re looking for an apprenticeship now, or considering it in the future, don’t miss out on this opportunity to find out about all the options available to you: 

Northumberland County Council will be joining Bridge Northumberland at their careers event where job seekers can get help and support with CV writing, applying for roles, interview preparation and much more. No booking necessary.  

The council are inviting prospective apprentices for coffee and a chat at the newly refurbished County Hall reception to find out what roles are available to start in September, speak to managers and current apprentices, get help filling out applications, and ask questions. No booking necessary. 

This recruitment drive marks the Council’s third intake of apprentices to join the council this year, with 52 apprentices entering the workforce in 2022 and even more set to start in September. 

 

Cllr Richard Wearmouth, Cabinet Member for Corporate Services said: “With A-Level and GCSE results season upon us, this is the perfect time to find out more about the high-quality career options available through our apprenticeship programme.  
 

“All council apprentices have a pathway into a full-time role or further training, with dedicated support from day one helping them reach their full potential.” 
 

There are many apprenticeships on offer across different departments, from horticulture, to social care, to business administration, and from level 2 right through to level 6 degree apprenticeships.  

 

Niamh, a Level 3 health and wellbeing apprentice knew university wasn’t for her and is reaching her potential with an apprenticeship. Niamh said: “I didn't want to go to university, and I’ve always been interested in healthy lifestyles and helping others so when I saw this apprenticeship, I knew it would be a great fit.  

 

“I have really enjoyed my first year and the support from managers has been amazing, so if you're thinking about doing an apprenticeship, just go for it.” 
 

The council is encouraging anyone considering applying for an apprenticeship to come along to a careers event, browse the different types of apprenticeships available, ask questions and chat with current apprentices and managers.
