Events Administration Apprentice
About the role
East Devon District Council is seeking an Events Administration Apprentice to join our busy Events Team. This is an exciting opportunity to gain valuable workplace experience while supporting the delivery of a diverse programme of events, weddings and filming activities across some of East Devon's most beautiful locations.
You'll work alongside experienced professionals, developing skills in administration, customer service, event planning, marketing and stakeholder engagement while helping to create memorable experiences for residents and visitors.
The role ensures the effective administration of all the Events team's processes, promotion and safe operation of events, weddings and filming activities while maximising income and delivering excellent customer service.
About you
We're looking for someone who is eager to learn, highly organised and passionate about delivering excellent customer service. You will have the confidence to communicate with people through various channels, and at all different levels of business.

A good level of digital confidence is important, including the ability to use Microsoft Word, Excel, email, the internet and social media. You should also be adaptable, respectful and open to new ideas, with a genuine interest in building effective working relationships and delivering a helpful service.
