Redbridge is an ambitious, diverse and exciting east-London borough. What we do is driven by changing our relationship with local people to support our vision. As a result, we've developed innovative ways to build our communities and transform our Council.

We're one of the fastest growing parts of the country and the third most diverse London borough. Our communities are attracted by a mixture of excellent schools, relatively affordable housing, high-quality open space and rapid transport connections into the heart of the city.

We are seeking a motivated and organised Apprentice Contracts Monitoring Assistant to support the effective management of leisure and culture contracts across the borough.

As an Apprentice Contracts Monitoring Assistant you will build strong working relationships with service providers, support site inspections and audits, maintain accurate performance records and assist with the tracking and reporting of contract outcomes. You will help ensure services are delivered in line with agreed standards and identify opportunities for improvement, while developing your knowledge of contract compliance, performance management and partnership working. The successful candidate will have strong organisational skills, attention to detail and a willingness to learn, making this an ideal role for an ambitious individual looking to grow their skills and contribute to the success of the borough’s leisure and cultural services.
