Modern Apprenticeships (MAs) offer new entrants to the labour market the chance of paid employment combined with the opportunity to do training relevant to the occupational area. They include the opportunity to gain nationally recognised qualifications that help kick-start a career without having to study full-time. New entrants include school and college leavers, those with no previous work experience and/or vocational qualifications.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for motivated individuals to join the Billing team. The post holder will work towards an SVQ Level 6 in Business Administration over the course of the 2 years.

This is a busy team which is responsible for processing and issuing various invoices to customers, for services provided by the Council’s Health and Social Care Team. Applicants must be willing to work flexibly in order to meet the needs of the service.

It is essential you possess good written and verbal communication skills as you will be required to prepare correspondence and reports. You will have an excellent telephone manner and a commitment to customer care.

Applicants must also either: have left secondary education in the past three years (including those about to leave this year); or currently be on a City of Edinburgh Council employability training programme, or be aged up to 29 with a disability or care experienced.

If you’ve got the right skills for the job we want to hear from you. We encourage applications from the right candidates regardless of disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, belief or race.

As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we’re bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.

To help achieve this, we’re changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.
