We are a family run Insurance Broker in the south side (Burnside) of Glasgow and are currently looking to recruit an office junior.

The role is ideally suited to a school leaver and someone who is willing to learn, ‘earn their stripes’ and has the enthusiasm and potential to progress within the company to Insurance Advisor level in time to come.

We have been very successful in the past with our office juniors and several of our staff (including me!) started off as the junior and have subsequently been with the company for many years. Recently however, it has been proving difficult to find the right candidate – no interest in working and too much interest in their mobile phones!

The role would entail ;

Filing

Making teas and coffee/ lunch run

Keeping the kitchen area tidy and stocked

Shredding of secure data/paperwork

Franking of mail

Dealing with recorded delivery mail

Ensuring stock (paper, envelopes, policy booklets, etc are all kept in supply)

Organising and storing of legal client documents

Updating system with claims information

Basic administration with our accounts system

The role is fairly basic to begin with but training is provided and it would be our hope that we could progress on to insurance advisor training within 6 months / first year. We would like someone to have basic admin skills (some have been unable to even grasp filing alphabetically) be well mannered and have good spoken and written English, as the role would involve speaking on the phone to insurance departments and writing emails/memos/ client letters – but most important to us is someone with the correct attitude and who is willing to learn.

If you do know of anyone who would be suited or interested in this role please pass on my details and ask them to contact me. We do require someone fairly soon, however I know some wouldn’t be looking to leave school until after their exams and we’d obviously take this into account.

Many thanks for your help with this, if you have any questions or queries please feel free to call me (0141 634 6827)

Applications for this year’s Digital Journalist Apprentice Scheme will open on Friday 13th March 2015 and the scheme will begin in mid-September. You will need at least 5 GCSEs,

including Maths and English at grade A-C. Because this apprenticeship is aimed at nongraduates, if you have a degree, or are studying for one, then we are sorry but you are not

eligible for this. Likewise, if you have any education or training qualifications which are above Level 4 you may not be eligible. If you are in any doubt whether you are eligibleontact BBC Recruitment: email: recruitment@bbc.co.uk Phone: 0370 333 1330

What kind of apprenticeship will I be studying for?

It’s an 18-month long apprenticeship in journalism designed by the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). Apprentices will be placed in news

teams throughout the BBC, where they will work and train alongside experienced BBC journalists. We will give you training in the technical and editorial skills that you

will need to work in a BBC newsroom. After sufficient training you will be given the opportunity to make a real contribution to our news output. The training will be

overseen by the BBC Academy.

I don’t have any journalism experience or training. Should I apply?

Yes. We are more interested in your potential as a BBC journalist than previous experience or training. A passion for news and current affairs, creativity, drive and resilience

are the qualities we are looking for in our apprentices.

How will I know how I am doing?

In the first seven weeks we’ll give you an induction into the BBC and then a good grounding in basic BBC journalism. We will also give you all the relevant technical training to

start your first work placement, and we will top up your training in specific skills if you need it. You’ll be assigned a mentor, someone to support and guide you throughout

the year. Your mentor will be in touch with you regularly to see how you’re getting on and to offer advice and encouragement. There will be a structured evaluation

process for the length of the apprenticeship. You will be given feedback on your performance and you will be askedto give your own feedback too.

Hours of Work, Holidays and Training Allowance

Working in journalism is not a 9 to 5, Monday to Friday job. The hours can be long when you are working to tight deadlines, but they can also be very rewarding. You

will be entitled to five weeks holiday during your year plus UK bank holidays (or time off if you are scheduled to work) and an extra day at Christmas specified by the

BBC. Currently, the annual training allowance is £11.5k per annum, but this is under review. At the beginning of your apprenticeship you will spend seven weeks training

in Birmingham. We will pay your accommodation, some meals and travel expenses. After that, we won’t expect to reimburse you for any expenses involved in getting to and

from your BBC base. If you are sent out on assignments during your apprenticeship you will be reimbursed for any

legitimate expenses in line with the expenses policy of that particular office.

Where will I be based?

You will have the chance to express a preference whereyou would like to be based. The locations will include:

New Broadcasting House in London,

MediaCityUK in Salford,

Pacific Quay in Glasgow,

BBC Northern Ireland

or BBC Wales in Cardiff

Is there an age limit for trainees?

Due to health and safety considerations, we cannot accept applications from individuals under the age of 18 at the time of the apprenticeship. There is no upper age

limit. If you live abroad, you can apply as long as you have a permit to live and work in the UK at the time of your application.

Will I get a job at the end of the scheme?

By the end of the scheme you will be in a strong position to apply for BBC jobs and we will also give you coaching and support in how to apply for jobs within the BBC

once your apprenticeship has come to an end. The nature of the modern broadcast industry is that people often work on three, six or 12-month contract.
