• Store, manage, and share data securely and in compliance with GDPR, the Data Protection Act, and internal policies

• Apply basic anonymisation techniques where required for privacy or compliance

• Use spreadsheets and simple dashboarding tools to organise and visualise data (e.g. tables, charts, pivot tables)

• Carry out basic statistical calculations (e.g. averages, percentages, totals) to summarise information

• Produce clear documentation of data sources, actions taken, and findings, using standard templates

• Provide day-to-day administrative support to the team, including some diary management, correspondence, and filing, primarily working in the international secretariat department

• Maintain accurate records and databases, ensuring information is up to date and easily retrievable

• Prepare reports, summaries, and presentations for internal stakeholders

• Support meetings with scheduling, minute-taking, and follow-up actions

• Handle routine enquiries by telephone, email, and in person, directing them appropriately

Required skills:

• Prospective apprentices must not hold an existing qualification at the same or higher level as this apprenticeship in a similar subject

You may also have a combination of qualifications and experience which demonstrate the minimum foundation needed for the programme. In this instance you could still be considered for the programme.
