Unlocked – Graphic designer & Content creator

About the role:

We’re looking for a hands-on creative who can turn ideas into high-quality visual and multi-format content, fast. You’ll work directly with the brand director, supporting sales, campaigns, events and daily content output across social, digital, and ads. You’ll be creating from day one.

This role aligns with the level 3 content creator apprenticeship, focused on planning, producing and delivering content across digital channels.

You’ll be working inside a fast-moving creative and marketing environment, contributing to live campaigns, events, brand activity and closely working with a high energy sales environment. The work you produce won’t sit in a folder — it will be seen.

The pace is high, things move quickly, priorities shift and not everything will be perfectly planned. That’s intentional, we’re building, testing and pushing constantly.

You’ll be working directly with the brand director, geting clear direction, honest feedback and real responsibility early on. In return, we expect you to be switched on, proactive and willing to improve quickly.

Responsibilities:

  • Design social content (posts, carousels, ads, stories) > create and edit short-form video (reels, tikok, ads)
  • Support campaign launches with visual assets
  • Edit footage from events, shoots and activations
  • Maintain brand consistency across all outputs
  • Assist with website visuals and digital assets
  • Support on-site content capture (photo/video when needed) > stay on top of design and content trends

Day-to-Day

  • Working from briefs and turning them into live content
  • Designing and editing content daily (this is output-heavy)
  • Supporting fast-turnaround creative requests
  • Working on campaign visuals and larger creative projects
  • Preparing assets for social, ads, and web

What success looks like

  • You produce content quickly and consistently
  • You understand the brand and apply it properly
  • You improve technically month by month
  • You become reliable for day-to-day creative output

What you’ll get

  • Real hands-on experience across campaigns, events and content
  • Direct mentorship from a brand director
  • Exposure to live projects, not just internal tasks
  • Clear progression into a full-time creative role
Training to be provided

Level 3 Content Creator

In-house mentoring

Personal Qualities

  • Willingness to learn quickly and take feedback
  • Someone proactive — not waiting to be told

Skills Required

  • Skills in adobe (photoshop, illustrator etc.)
  • Strong interest in design, video and content creation
  • Good eye for layout, typography and visual style

Qualifications Required

You’ll need a good level of English and a strong foundation in graphic design and content creation with a passion for events. Formal qualifications like GCSEs are helpful but not essential.

Things to Consider

The apprenticeship programme and your employment are fully integrated. You will be expected to show strong commitment to both your job role and your training. While the majority of your time will be spent working at UNLOCKED, a dedicated part of your contracted hours will be set aside for training towards your accreditation.

Future Prospects

We will review all future prospects upon successful completion of the apprenticeship.
