Modern Apprentice - Resettlement and ESOL

The Opportunity

Looking for a role where you can make a difference, learn new skills, and get paid while you do it? This Modern Apprenticeship with the Resettlement & ESOL team is your chance to kick‑start a career that really matters.

You’ll be part of a team that helps new Scots and people and families on UK Resettlement Schemes build new lives in Angus — supporting community activities, creating digital content, keeping information up to date, and being a friendly point of contact for those who need it. No two days will be the same, and you don’t need experience. What we care about most is your enthusiasm, your kindness, and your excitement to learn.

You’ll get hands‑on experience, try out real tasks from day one, and build skills in communication, digital media, admin, and teamwork. And the best part? You’ll do it all while working toward a nationally recognised qualification that can open doors across the council and beyond.

If you’re someone who wants a job that helps people, enjoys getting creative, and likes the idea of being part of a supportive team making a real impact in the community, this could be the perfect place for you to start.
