IT Apprentice - FCDO Services - AO

Providing innovation to government partners. Delivering best-in-class solutions. Working at the cutting-edge of technology It all matters. Work with sector-leading technology to protect those with the highest security classifications

At the heart of this interesting 21‑month apprenticeship is a focus on keeping assets, information and people safe. You’ll do that by combining your studies for a Level 3 Information Communication Technician qualification, with hands‑on experience. We’ll start with the small but vital stuff – things like fault diagnosis and the specifics of secure networks and Cloud‑based services. But those skills will quickly grow so that you become fluent in patch and vulnerability management, plus you’ll be well‑versed in the most cutting‑edge developments in securing IT and mobile solutions for teams across the continents.

By the end of your apprenticeship, we’re hopeful that you’ll be interested in securing a permanent job with our talented team, and from there, your career could really take off. We work with government‑level customers who are reliant on IT and mobile solutions they can trust in every conceivable situation, so this is a unique chance to embed yourself in a world‑class team.

You’ll be exposed to a wealth of multidisciplinary talent during your placements with our Technology and Operations teams, so this opportunity would be ideal for someone who has a genuine interest in computing and technology. We’re open to people from all backgrounds and all life stages, so regardless of whether you’re a school‑leaver, someone who is returning to work after a career break or someone who is looking for a career change, you’ll excel with us if you’re reliable and proactive.

As a British national who is at least 16‑years old, you’ll also have a sharp eye for detail, and you’ll enjoy working collaboratively with others. With at least two GCSEs (or an equivalent qualification) at grades 9‑4 (A*‑C) in both Maths and English, you’ll be keen to learn and absorb knowledge from our ambitious teams.
