Business Administration Apprentice

Most apprenticeships teach you administration; this one teaches you how a growing business operates.

At JMC Legal Recruitment, administration sits at the heart of everything we do. From onboarding new employees and maintaining accurate records, to supporting recruitment processes, reporting, compliance, systems, and internal projects, strong administration enables the entire business to perform at its best.

We are looking to hire a Business Administration Apprentice to join our Operations function and develop into a highly capable business support professional.

This is an opportunity to gain exposure to a wide variety of business activities while completing a nationally recognised Level 3 Business Administrator apprentice.

You will work closely with our Operations Assistant, supporting the day-to-day running of the business whilst developing valuable skills that will provide the foundation for a long-term career within business support, administration, operations, HR, recruitment, or project coordination.

This apprenticeship offers a unique opportunity to gain insight into both the administrative and operational side of a growing business.

Culture & Environment

We believe that high performance and positive culture should go hand in hand.

Our performance is professional, ambitious, collaborative, and supportive.

What this means in practice:

• Flexible and grown-up working environment
• Dress-down culture
• Collaborate team culture
• Ongoing support and mentorship
• Regular team socials and events
• Investment in technology, systems, and innovation
• Genuine opportunities for development and progression

We are proud of the culture we have created and the number of people that have built long-term careers within the business.

The Opportunity

The apprenticeship is designed to provide broad exposure to business administration within a professional services environment.

You will support a variety of business functions including:

• Recruitment administration
• Compliance administration
• Reporting and data management
• Onboarding and employee administration
• Systems administration
• Internal business projects
• General business support

You will gradually take ownership of administrative responsibilities while receiving ongoing support, training, and mentoring.

As your confidence develops, you will also have opportunities to become involved in wider business projects and process improvement initiatives.

• Recruitment processes
• GDPR and confidentiality

• Communicates confidently and professionally
• Enjoys working with systems, data, and administration

• Ongoing mentoring and support
• Exposure to a wide range of business functions
• Professional development opportunities

Why This Role Stands Out

Many apprenticeships focus on a single area of administration.

This role offers the opportunity to gain experience across multiple business functions while working within a professional, growing organisation.

For the right individual, this could provide the foundation for a long and successful career in business administration, operations, project support, or wider business services.
