ICT Service Management Team
Fixed Term Contract
Apprentice
From £137 per week (£7,716 per annum)
Full Time
The role is within the ICT Service Management Team, undertaking duties relating to ICT Configuration and Change Management.

The ICT Department delivers a broad range of Information Technology and Communications technologies, which will enable an apprentice with a keen interest in ICT, to develop their technical and people skills to satisfy the requirements of their Apprenticeship

Time will be spent with other sections within the ICT Department; the duration of these secondments will depend on the trainees’ interests and the requirements of their apprenticeship.

The apprentice will also be encouraged to undertake the ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library Service Management) Foundation training.

For the purposes of the application you will be expected to provide evidence against the four personal qualities below and the entry requirements:

• Service Delivery
• Professionalism
• Decision Making
• Working with Others

There is a word count limit of 500 words per section.


You will be assisted and supported with these responsibilities by your line manager, but you will have contact every day with staff at all levels within the Constabulary as well as people outside the organisation.

This apprenticeship is for a one year fixed term contract. In 2013, 50% of the apprentices recruited went on to gain a permanent position within Hertfordshire Constabulary. We are a large organisation and employment opportunities may develop towards the end of your apprenticeship for which you would need to apply through our normal procedures, but there is no guarantee of a permanent position. We believe that the experience to which you will be exposed throughout your apprenticeship will significantly enhance your ability to find employment inside or outside our organisation.

We strongly encourage our apprentices to get involved in voluntary work, for example, Scouts, Cadets, Girl Guiding, St John's Ambulance, the Princes Trust or any other voluntary organisation. There are also volunteer positions in Hertfordshire Constabulary which might interest you; if you are 18 or over, you can apply to be a Special Constable or Police Community Volunteer.

On completion of your NVQ, voluntary sessions, and work with Hertfordshire Constabulary, you can apply for a £500 bonus. Your engagement in voluntary work will form part of our assessment as to whether you have successfully completed your Apprenticeship and whether the bonus will be paid to you. Payment of the bonus is also subject to satisfactory performance and attendance.

Successful candidates will be subject to security clearance, the receipt of satisfactory references, and being passed medically fit by our Occupational Health and Welfare Unit to undertake the work.

For further information or an informal chat please contact Jenny Routh on 01438 757777.

All applications are welcome and must be received by the closing date.

The interviews will be held on 25th November 2014

This opportunity is closed to applications.
