Business Support Administrator Apprentice (Level 3)

We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic apprentice to join our Crawley team. This is ideal for someone looking to develop strong organisational, communication, and coordination skills while gaining experience in an advanced technology company. Successful completion of the apprenticeship may lead to progression into a full-time role.

Role

You will support governance, compliance, project administration, and the smooth running of day-to-day business operations. You will contribute to maintaining high-quality documentation, supporting audit readiness, improving reporting, and enhancing coordination across business functions.

Some examples of daily tasks:

  • Assist with preparation of agendas, meeting papers, minutes, and action logs for governance meetings
  • Support collection and consolidation of information for governance reporting, dashboards, and performance indicators
  • Support preparation activities for internal and external audits, including scheduling, evidence gathering, and tracking actions
  • Update compliance trackers, audit dashboards, and remediation logs under supervision
  • Provide administrative support to project managers, including scheduling meetings, updating timelines, and tracking project actions
  • Manage shared inboxes, calendars, meeting logistics, and internal communication activities
  • Help prepare presentations, briefings, and summary documents as required
  • Ensure sensitive documents and information are handled in line with confidentiality and compliance expectations

Training

Most of your learning will be on-the-job in the office, with structured training, workplace mentoring, and opportunities to develop skills across business governance, compliance administration, and project coordination.

Alongside your day-to-day duties you will also undertake a Level 3 Business Administrator apprenticeship programme run by Chichester College Group. 

This is primarily delivered online once a fortnight, but there will be 6 in person sessions scattered throughout the programme duration at Chichester College.

Successful completion of the apprenticeship may lead to progression into junior roles in Governance, Compliance, or the Project Management Office at Viridien. This apprenticeship develops sought-after skills in many companies.
