Introduction

Business administrators have a highly transferable set of knowledge, skills and behaviours that can be applied in all sectors. This includes small and large businesses alike; from the public sector, private sector and charitable sector. The role may involve working independently or as part of a team and will involve developing, implementing, maintaining and improving administrative services. Business administrators develop key skills and behaviours to support their own progression towards management responsibilities. The responsibilities of the role are to support and engage with different parts of the organisation and interact with internal or external customers. With a focus on adding value, the role of business administrator contributes to the efficiency of an organisation, through support of functional areas, working across teams and resolving issues as requested. The flexibility and responsiveness required allows the apprentice to develop a wide range of skills. The business administrator is expected to deliver their responsibilities efficiently and with integrity – showing a positive attitude. The role involves demonstrating strong communication skills (both written and verbal) and adopting a proactive approach to developing skills. The business administrator is also expected to show initiative, managing priorities and own time, problem-solving skills, decision-making and the potential for people management responsibilities through mentoring or coaching others.

What do we study

The apprenticeship emphasizes knowledge of the organization, value of skills, stakeholders, relevant regulations, business fundamentals, processes, external environment factors, and wider business environment. Apprentices gain an understanding of the organization's purpose, structure, stakeholders, relevant regulations, internal policies, business principles, processes, and external factors affecting the business environment. In terms of skills, apprentices develop proficiency in IT, record and document production, decision making, interpersonal communication, quality assurance, planning and organization, project management, and understanding the wider business environment. They become skilled in using various IT packages for tasks like writing letters, creating proposals, and analysing data. Additionally, they learn to produce accurate records and documents, make effective decisions, build positive relationships, communicate effectively across various channels, complete tasks to high standards, manage priorities and time efficiently, and lead projects as required. Lastly, apprentices are expected to demonstrate role-model behaviours and positive contributions to the organizational culture. This includes behaving professionally, exhibiting valued personal qualities such as integrity and reliability, managing performance effectively, adapting to changing priorities, and taking responsibility for team performance and project delivery. They are encouraged to embody professionalism, personal qualities, adaptability, and responsibility in their work, serving as positive examples for their peers and contributing to team cohesion and productivity.
