We’re on the lookout for an enthusiastic and motivated individual with a passion for digital tools, organisation, and improving how services are delivered.

The post is based at Ronach House, Inverness and offers hybrid working. Hours are Monday to Friday, 36 hours per week.

During your apprenticeship you will be paid at a percentage of the qualified pay band maximum. As this is a two year apprenticeship you will receive 70% of the pay band maximum in year one and 75% of the pay band maximum in year two. This will be adjusted to reflect the Scottish Living Wage where appropriate.
