{Play}Introducing Matt and Emma

The Town Council has taken on two apprentices.

Emma Cook is our Level 3 (A-level equivalent) Information Officer Apprentice.  Emma joined us on 16 September and the placement is for 18 months.  On 1 October Matt Powell joined us as a Level 6 (degree-level) Youth Worker Apprentice. 

Marlborough residents and visitors to the town will benefit from these appointments as Emma and Matt bring valuable additional resource, allowing our team to enhance and extend our services.  They get a great opportunity to earn while they learn and work towards more qualifications, and the wider team is grateful for the extra help and different perspective these two young people bring.

The Town Council is delighted to be able to offer this opportunity to two young people, which we believe is a rare and perhaps even unique step for the public sector.  We know of only one other person on the Youth Work apprenticeship scheme who is employed by a council, and that is in London.

Please join us to welcome Emma and Matt to our team.
