A range of apprenticeship opportunities have arisen within our forward-thinking Entry Talent Centre of Expertise here at DE&S based at Bristol Abbey Wood.


The DE&S Business Administrator Apprenticeship Scheme is an 18 to 20 month development programme focused around Business Administration roles across different areas of DE&S.


As a Business Administrator Apprentice at DE&S, you will gain work experience and develop a wide range of skills by rotating through a range of challenging and stimulating work placements across DE&S Business Support roles.

At the same time, you will undertake academic training, so that, upon scheme completion, you will achieve a Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Business Administration, a nationally recognised qualification.

You will achieve this through a blend of face-to-face, virtual tuition and e-learning and you will also be assigned a dedicated Talent Coach who will support you throughout the programme.

The academic portion of the apprenticeship includes study in the following areas:

  • Understanding Organisations
  • Personal and professional development
  • Problem solving and decision making
  • Effective communication
  • Business documentation
Your hands-on experience will also be underpinned by MOD/DE&S specific training.

In addition to formal training, you will receive:

  • A dedicated Scheme Manager who will be responsible for coordinating your professional training and development
  • A Placement Supervisor who will oversee your daytoday management and provide on the job development opportunities
  • An experienced college skills coach to provide support throughout your academic learning journey
  • Additional training opportunities to enhance your learning further


On successful completion of the scheme, you can expect to be placed into a permanent job at DE&S typically working with a range of contacts inside and outside of DE&S to enable the operational day-to-day running of our business and ensuring compliance with the requirements of being part of a Department of State.


We are seeking individuals who:

  • Enjoy solving problems and identifying solutions
  • Would like to develop good written and verbal communication skills
