For this week’s Jobs of the Week, we have three apprenticeship opportunities with Argo’s Bakery, Orkney College UHI and ourselves (DYW Orkney).  The Modern Apprentice opportunity with DYW Orkney closes this Sunday (30 July) so you don’t have long left to apply.

There are also opportunities in the hospitality sector with Front of House weekend roles at the Willow’s Coffee Shop, part-time waiting/bar staff roles at the Orkney Brewery in Quoyloo, or Housekeeping roles at the Royal Hotel and Ferry Inn in Stromness.

For more details about all of the opportunities available, click on the button below.

Did you know that as an employee, there are some rights that you are entitled to?  Some of the areas your employment rights cover include what you can be paid, annual leave entitlement, sick pay and they protect you from discrimination.  To learn more about your employment rights, visit here.

It is Thursday again, which means that our Jobs of the Week are now available to view.

This week is your last chance to apply for the trainee and apprenticeship opportunities with Orkney Islands Council, as well as the Deck Rating and Engine Room Rating apprenticeships with Northlink Ferries – so if you are interested in any of these roles, get your applications in before the closing dates.

We also have opportunities as a Switchboard Reception Operator at the Balfour and a Cooking Operative with Orkney Fishermen’s Society in Stromness – plus lots more!

The 'No Wrong Path' campaign will be returning to our social media feeds this August and we are inviting anyone from around Orkney – and Orcadians living further afield – to take part.

In its seventh year, the campaign runs on the day the Scottish exam results are released and aims to educate and inspire young people about their options regardless of the results they have received, by highlighting that many people in interesting jobs didn't necessarily take a straight, obvious or traditional path to get there.

This week’s Jobs of the Week are now available.

This week we feature part-time opportunities with Jewson, Voluntary Action Orkney and Kirkwall Town Hall, we also have an apprenticeship opportunity with ourselves. For full details on all of the jobs, including how and where to apply, click on the link below.

If you are looking for a job but also keen to gain a qualification, an apprenticeship may be for you.  Apprenticeships are a great way to get real-life industry experience alongside industry recognised qualifications.  If you would like more information on apprenticeships, speak to a Careers Adviser or visit apprenticeships.scot.

Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) Orkney are currently recruiting for a Modern Apprentice Administrative Assistant to join our team.

The successful candidate will be supported to complete a Modern Apprenticeship in Business and Administration at Orkney College UHI (read more here).  This is a fantastic opportunity for someone aged between 16 and 24 years - or 29 years if you are care experienced or disabled – who is looking to gain qualifications alongside working and earning a salary.

Until recently, the Administrative Assistant post was held by Andy Tait, who successfully completed his SVQ 2 and SVQ 3 Business and Administration qualifications during his time with DYW Orkney.  You can read more about Andy’s journey with us below:
