Student Trading Standards Officer Apprenticeship

An exciting opportunity has arisen in Regulatory Services. We are seeking applicants for the role of Student Trading Standards Officer. With the imminent introduction of the new tobacco and vapes legislation, this role has been specifically created to support this work, although you will be given training across the areas of trading standards which fit with your apprenticeship modules – including product safety, food and feed standards, scams and weights and measures.

What you’ll need

We are looking for a flexible and highly motivated individual able to work on their own initiative and as part of a team. You will need to demonstrate a proven ability and willingness to study, develop your skills and successfully complete the Level 6 Trading Standards Professional Apprenticeship, which is a condition of this employment.

To join us you’ll need a Level 3 accredited qualification, along with GCSE (or equivalent) English and Maths. If you don’t have GCSE (or equivalent) English and Maths, you’ll be prepared to do the function skills alongside the apprenticeship.

A lot to look forward to

Here at Barnsley, we live and work by four important values: honesty, teamwork, excellent service, and taking pride in what we do. As part of our team, you can be sure we’ll do all we can to support you in being truly excellent. You see, we prioritise learning and enabling you to achieve your potential. This post has a clear career path to you becoming a Trading Standards Officer.
