Each spring I start the search for my new apprentice – and here we are again. This is a one year apprenticeship scheme for a local school leaver to gain experience in my constituency office whilst also studying for an NVQ Level 3 in Business Administration. As an integral part of Team Leadsom, my Apprentice Caseworker is responsible for helping with constituents’ questions about different policies, as well as dealing with some of the correspondence I receive each day.

The role is full time and lasts for twelve months from August to July. Although based in Towcester, there are regular opportunities to work in Westminster and to get fully involved in all aspects of parliamentary life.

If you are interested in the role please contact Maggie in my constituency office on 01327 353124 or email andrea.leadsom.mp@parliament.uk. My current apprentice Olivia and previous apprentice Jake share their thoughts on the role and their experience in this video.
