Are you passionate about creating exceptional experiences for our customers? Do you have a natural flair for organisation? If so, join us as an Events Assistant Apprentice and embark on an extraordinary journey in the captivating world of event management.

As an Events Assistant Apprentice, you'll have the opportunity to support our seasoned team of event professionals in planning, organising, and delivering a diverse range of events – from conferences and trade shows to outdoor festivals and corporate galas. Whether you're liaising with venues, coordinating logistics, or managing delegate registrations, you'll play a vital role in ensuring the seamless execution of every event.

Throughout your apprenticeship, you'll develop a deep understanding of the events industry, exploring the full lifecycle of an event, from research and planning to delivery and evaluation.

A day in the life can involve:
- Gathering and collating information to assist in the selection of event venues and locations
- Responding to requests from different functional teams to support the planning and preparation of events
- Providing on-site support during events, including delegate registration and general assistance
- Utilising event technology platforms and in-house software to streamline event management

We welcome individuals from all backgrounds who have a strong desire to learn, grow, and make an impact. In this programme, you will have the opportunity to develop a diverse range of professional skills, such as effective communication, relationship building, and problem-solving. By fostering trust and rapport with colleagues, suppliers, and customers, you’ll contribute to the achievement of our organisation’s goals and the delivery of exceptional experiences.

Underpinning your journey will be a strong commercial awareness, as you gain an understanding of event budgets, project management, and the factors that drive business success. Applying your resourcefulness and initiative, you'll help us continuously improve our event offerings and exceed the expectations of our customers. To be successful in this role, you’ll need to have exceptional communication, organisation, and planning skills.

Here at Amazon, it's in our nature to learn and be curious. Within this apprenticeship you’ll have the opportunity to learn by doing, putting newfound knowledge into practice every day. Our first-class coaching, tailored development opportunities, and rewarding work will empower you to reach new heights. If you’re a curious learner eager to grow, this is your chance to unlock your full potential and build the future you envision.

You will gain a vast range of useful experiences and skills whilst working towards the Level 3 Events Assistant apprenticeship standard. As a working student your focus is to complete your studies in your 20% off the job time by learning and developing your skills, knowledge and behaviours to work towards successful graduation. Please note: As part of your off-the-job learning, you may be required to travel to a training centre. This location may differ from your primary work base. Candidates should be prepared for occasional travel as part of the apprenticeship programme. You will be set goals by your training provider and manager to support your studies.

You will build your skills over an 18-month period, starting in July. These skills will help you develop personally and professionally. Your apprenticeship will be made up of classroom/virtual based training to cover knowledge, on-the-job training at your Amazon base location, online learning as well as mentoring from our experienced team members.

We value different perspectives and experiences, and we're dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. Our employee-led affinity groups including communities for women in tech, LGBTQ+ employees, and underrepresented minorities, foster a culture on inclusion that empowers us to be proud of our differences. These groups provide community, mentorship, and a platform for your voice to be heard. We’re committed to building a workforce that reflects the customers and communities we serve.

We're continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth's Best Employer. That's why you'll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship, and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.
