About The Role

This vacancy is only open to T-Level 3 Business Management and Administration students at Gloucestershire College (2026/2027) as part of a two-year placement programme.

Location: Lion House, Rowcroft, Stroud, Gloucestershire, GL5 3BY (office-based)

Hours: 09:00 to 16:30 (1 hour for lunch) one day per week (Monday / Friday)

About the placement:

This placement is a great opportunity to build practical business and administration skills in a friendly, fast-paced workplace. You’ll join our People & Talent teams and help us provide a great service to colleagues and job candidates.

You’ll spend time in three main areas: Recruitment (Talent Attraction), Training, and HR (People Team). You may also get experience in other parts of the business. With support and training, your tasks could include:

  • Help keep employee records and user licences up to date in our Learning Management System (LMS), including when people join or leave the company
  • Help manage shared inboxes, label queries, raise service desk tickets and learn how to prioritise tasks
  • Support recruitment by posting and updating job adverts, searching for potential candidates and helping with initial candidate checks
  • Update simple step-by-step guides and help create clear training materials
  • Check and organise confidential information, update trackers and reporting dashboards, and keep digital filing systems tidy and accurate
  • Help prepare rooms and materials for training, arrange interviews and meetings, take notes, and proofread documents
  • Create and share engaging updates on our internal communications platform, ‘Yammer’
  • Support learning and development activities and, where appropriate, help with workshops
 

What you’ll gain:

You’ll gain real workplace experience, build confidence and develop useful skills in administration, customer service, teamwork and communication. You’ll also learn how different People & Talent teams collaborate to advance our overall environmental goals.

About You

  • You’re keen to learn, ask questions and try new things
  • You pay attention to detail and take pride in completing tasks accurately and on time
  • You can follow instructions and turn them into clear, organised work
  • You’re on time and can plan your time well, including staying organised and asking for help when priorities are unclear
  • You communicate politely and clearly, both in person and in writing
  • You bring a positive attitude, take initiative, and work well with others.

Some experience with Microsoft Office, such as Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint or Teams, would be helpful but is not essential. We’ll provide the training and support you need.

 

Further requirements:

Although this is an unpaid placement, we must still verify your right to work in the UK before it starts.

To do this, you'll need to provide either:
  • A UK or Irish passport; or
  • A birth certificate and proof of your National Insurance (NI) number.
 If you have limited leave to remain or a settled status, you'll also need to provide a share code.

Please make sure you have the original documents ready before applying, as we won't be able to start your placement until this check has been completed.

About Us

Flexibility Statement

The fast moving nature of the business means that from time to time you may be asked to perform duties or tasks outside of your original job description on an ad hoc basis. This allows the company to utilise our people in the best possible way at all times and helps our colleagues to make the best contribution in a changing environment.

Ecotricity is Britain's overall greenest energy company- it’s more than just green energy – the breadth and depth of our work on green issues is unmatched. When we started back in 1995, we were the first company in the world to provide a new kind of electricity - the green kind.

Our mission was, and remains, to change the way energy is made and used in Britain - by replacing fossil fuels with clean, renewable energy.

We don't just supply green energy, we use the money from our customers' bills to make it ourselves too – we have built windmills and sun parks in Britain. We call this turning 'bills into mills'. 

We don't just focus on energy though- we built the Electric Highway, Britain's leading network of electric vehicle charging points; we helped Forest Green Rovers become the greenest football club in the world; and we launched Britain's greenest mobile phone service, Ecotalk, where they use the money from their customers' bills to protect and regenerate Britain's lost rainforests.

Ecotricity is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to providing equality for all.
