Business Administration Apprentice

Most apprenticeships teach you administration; this one teaches you how a growing business operates.

At JMC Legal Recruitment, administration sits at the heart of everything we do. From onboarding new employees and maintaining accurate records, to supporting recruitment processes, reporting, compliance, systems, and internal projects, strong administration enables the entire business to perform at its best.

We are looking to hire a Business Administration Apprentice to join our Operations function and develop into a highly capable business support professional.

This is an opportunity to gain exposure to a wide variety of business activities while completing a nationally recognised Level 3 Business Administrator apprentice.

You will work closely with our Operations Assistant, supporting the day-to-day running of the business whilst developing valuable skills that will provide the foundation for a long-term career within business support, administration, operations, HR, recruitment, or project coordination.
