South Wales Police brings together thousands of people with the same aim – to keep South Wales safe.

The South Wales Police Apprentice programme is an excellent opportunity for you if you are wanting to develop your workplace skills alongside gaining an academic qualification.

Becoming part of #TeamSWP will offer you a unique learning experience where you will contribute to real life projects in a complex and diverse environment. We value individuality and encourage new ideas and creativity that will contribute to our success as a force and make a difference to society. We are looking for people with diverse skills and experiences who are innovative, driven, ambitious and above all, talented individuals who aspire to be our leaders of the future and wish to join our successful team.

Our apprenticeship programme is paid and is for a period of 12 – 18 months (dependent upon reaching the requirements for the qualification) starting in September 2023. It is a level 3 apprenticeship, and you will be expected to complete a Level 3 qualification alongside your work with South Wales Police. You will be supported through the course by a tutor from the college and by your team in the workplace. At the end of the qualification, you will be able to apply for a permanent role within South Wales Police.

This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic person to make a big impact on the way how Learning and Development supports and develops our employees.

You will work closely with the diverse teams within Learning and Development departments and, amongst other activities will be involved in:

• inputting critical information onto South Wales Police L&D systems
• liaising with internal and external partners
• Acting as the first point of contact for L&D queries
• Producing and manipulating training and skill data via reporting tools 

The apprenticeship includes completion of the requirements of a Level 3 apprenticeship qualification in Business Administration.
