She said: “I love my job and I’m so happy to have been given the opportunity to earn qualifications whilst being able to work and gain experience at the same time.

“Not only have I now completed my apprenticeship, but I have also been given the opportunity to do additional online courses and take part in a variety of interesting webinars. I’d thoroughly recommend an apprenticeship with the council.”
