Corporate Apprentice

Wyre Council is looking for ambitious and driven individuals who want to widen their skillset both academically and through practical experience. 

We will fully fund you to complete the Chartered Manager BA Honours Degree (Starting September 2025) accredited by Lancaster University, a top 10 ranking University awarded by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2021. During your time with us, you’ll work with other apprentices throughout the business to share learning experiences and develop your skills. 

Wyre Council has an excellent record of providing opportunities to apprentices. In 2022, we recruited five Corporate Apprentices, all of which are due to achieve Chartered Manager BA Honours Degree by summer of 2025. Following the success of this programme, we have another fantastic opportunity to follow in their footsteps as we look to recruit two Corporate Apprentices who will start their Chartered Manager BA Honours Degree in September 2025.
