The Bedford & Huntingdon branch prides itself on delivering a genuine 24/7 service, providing clients and candidates with expert support whenever it is needed.

As a Business Administration Apprentice, you will play an important role in supporting the day-to-day operations of a busy recruitment office. You will gain valuable experience in administration, customer service, recruitment, and compliance while working closely with both candidates and clients.

Applicants should consider whether they are comfortable with early morning starts and working in a fast-paced environment. The position is heavily phone based, requiring confidence in communicating professionally and building positive relationships over the telephone. The role may also involve driving in and around the Bedford and Huntingdon area, so candidates should be comfortable travelling locally as part of their duties.

Your responsibilities will include advertising vacancies and helping to source candidates through job boards, social media, referrals, and other recruitment channels. You will assist with candidate registrations, telephone screenings, right-to-work and compliance checks, and maintain accurate records on company systems.

The role will also involve matching drivers and logistics personnel to suitable assignments, coordinating daily bookings and shift allocations, and ensuring clients' staffing requirements are met efficiently. You will build and maintain positive relationships with candidates, local businesses, and existing clients while handling enquiries in a professional and customer-focused manner.

In addition, you will support onboarding activities, compliance processes, and general office administration, helping to ensure all documentation and records remain accurate and up to date. This apprenticeship offers an excellent opportunity to develop strong organisational, communication, and problem solving skills while gaining hands on experience within a fast-paced and rewarding recruitment environment.
