You will earn £23,152 a year working full time (37 hours a week), or £12 per hour pro rata, as we are a Voluntary Living Wage employer. The Living Wage is reviewed each year and Cardiff Council reserves the right to make changes to, or remove, the Living Wage Supplement.
Our Major Projects Team is looking to employ a Corporate Trainee working as an agile worker with some work at home and some based at County Hall, Atlantic Wharf, CF10 4UW.
Major Projects Team lead on the delivery of regeneration and development projects that support the Council’s vision for the Capital’s regeneration and future development in line with the Wellbeing of Future Generations and the Council’s Greener, Fairer, Stronger City-Recovery and Renewal Strategy.
This role will involve working online from home and a mix of home and office (hybrid) working.
About the job
In this Corporate Trainee role, you will:
Be able to get involved in some of the most exciting regeneration projects and learn a range of project management and stakeholder engagement skills as well as developing an understanding of the governance requirements that support the delivery of Major Projects.
Gain a significant understanding of the Political and Officer led decision making processes for the Local Authority.
You will learn about programme and project management and how it is delivered in Cardiff Council. You will learn about each of our team roles and carry out a range of tasks that support the projects and analysis work required to deliver major projects.
Some of the tasks include:
* Scheduling and attending meetings and taking notes
* Updating records, databases and plans
* Undertaking basic research and analysis
As well as other general office administration and communicating with colleagues in the team and from other services over the telephone, Microsoft Teams or in face-to-face meetings.
This is an agile working position, so some tasks may be carried out at home or at other council locations.
The service team will help and encourage you to develop in the role and you will be encouraged to take on a variety of duties. You will receive supervision and on-the-job training and will have a named mentor to support you to deliver an efficient and effective service in a positive, customer-focused manner. The Corporate Trainee Scheme also provides opportunities to enhance your transferable skills to help support your career progression.
Many of our teams work online with a mix of home or hybrid (office) working. Where homeworking is required, you will be given the necessary equipment and training; however, you will need to arrange your own internet connectivity (support may be available to help with this).
Working Week is Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
As a Corporate Trainee, you will gain valuable experience working for Cardiff - the largest Council in Wales. Although we cannot guarantee that you will go on to secure a further role at the end of the initial contract, you will be supported and encouraged to take advantage of the many opportunities available within our organisation to help progress your career.
