Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
We’re a business to business (B2B), which means our marketing can look quite different from the advertising and social media you see every day as a consumer. Our audiences are other businesses and the people who work in them, so our marketing is about understanding their needs, building trust and showing them how our products and services can help. You’ll get to see what this looks like in practice and learn how different marketing channels work together.
We’re looking for someone who is curious, creative and keen to learn. You don’t need to know everything about marketing already. What matters to us is that you’re willing to have a go, ask questions, bring your ideas, stay organised and take pride in what you do.
You’ll be working with lots of different people, so being friendly, flexible and comfortable working as part of a team is important too. Most importantly, we want someone who is excited to learn, try new things and build their skills along the way.
