Role Responsibility

A Kent County Council Apprenticeship will give you the opportunity to earn a salary and gain a real qualification whilst gaining valuable workplace skills and experience.

An opportunity has arisen for a fixed term full-time Apprentice to join the Kent Country Parks Team on an 18 month placement period.

This is a great opportunity to gain an NVQ Level 3 qualification in Business and Administration whilst working for a large, diverse, rapidly changing organisation.
