Introduction
The role of the business administrator involves developing, implementing, maintaining and improving administrative services, either by working independently or as part of a team. Business administrators will engage with and support different parts of an organisation, and interact with internal or external customers. There is a clear focus on adding value by contributing to the efficiency of an organisation through support of functional areas, working across teams and resolving issues as requested.
The business administrator is expected to deliver their responsibilities efficiently and with integrity whilst 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 their own time, problem-solving skills, decision making and the potential for people management responsibilities through mentoring or coaching others. Business administrators develop key skills and behaviours to support their own progression towards management responsibilities.
Off the Job Training:
A key requirement of an Apprenticeship is Off-the-job training. This must make up at least 20% of the apprentice’s contracted hours, over the total duration of the apprentice’s planned training period. Off-the-job training must be directly relevant to the apprenticeship standard and must take place within the apprentice’s normal working hours. The new learning must be documented and reflected on through the Learner Journal on their e-portfolio.
